This torte was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

This torte is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I've tried many different lemon torte recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is perfectly flaky and the filling is smooth and creamy. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

This torte was just okay. It wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. The crust was a little too thick and the filling was a little too sweet.
