This is a great dessert for a dinner party as you can make it the morning. It is very lemony though so if I was making this again I would probably use slightly less lemon juice (maybe 100ml instead of 120ml) and also I would maybe serve it in smaller dishes and make more of them – this could make 6-8 small desserts and then you could follow it with cheese. My husband doesnt really like lemon though so he only ate half of his so definitely a recipe for lemon lovers. Makes a nice change from the chocolate desserts I love to make 🙂
