This dessert was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would have preferred a recipe that was a bit quicker and easier.

The whipped topping was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit less sugary.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit more firm.

This dessert is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the lemon flavor was a bit more subtle.

This dessert is a great way to use up leftover lemons. I had a few lemons that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this recipe. It turned out great! The lemon flavor was bright and tangy, and the crust was perfectly crumbly.
