These squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the meringue next time.

These squares were easy to make and they turned out great! I love the bright citrus flavor of the lemon and the sweetness of the coconut. The meringue is the perfect finishing touch.

These squares were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used Meyer lemons. Next time I'll use regular lemons.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these squares were still really good. The lemon flavor really shines through and the meringue is light and fluffy. I would definitely make these again, but I might use a different filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the squares turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the meringue. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.
