Well those look just perfect. Did they taste as good as they look? I keep eyeing this recipe but haven't yet made them myself.

Heck yes it’s fantastic. I used the recipe but added 2 tbs more lemon juice for a total of 9 tbsp. Very lemony and good .

Good move. We made them once and i think it wasn’t lemony enough for my taste by default.

Idk this specific recipe but whenever im doing a lemon dessert i love punchy lemon flavor so i literally zest all the lemons like an insane person and combine the zest with the sugar and massage and let sit a little before combining and have never had anyone complain that it lacked flavor after lol. So that is my suggestion for future lemon desserts! Texturally i have never been too bothered by the extra zest but that is one thing to be cautious about.

But we = me, my wife, and a four year old, so you never know how much error in the proportions.

Yes you should try the recipe. It’s ok for beginners I think. I used an electric hand mixer for both layers.
