The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a bit less sugar in the lemon curd filling. I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I added some fresh raspberries to the top of the dessert, and they added a beautiful pop of color and flavor.

The lemon curd filling was tangy and sweet, and the shortbread crust was buttery and flaky. The combination was perfect.

I love how easy this recipe is to follow. Even though it has multiple layers, it came together quickly and without any fuss.
