I just made these, and even after very thorough chilling, the lemon layer did not gel at all – it’s stayed VERY liquid. I’m not sure what I did wrong! Any ideas?

My wife made these this weekend. They were fabulous, her only tip was to make sure you get the crust really flat and even in the pan so you don’t have more lemon filling on one end then the other. Great recipe will make again!

I made this yesterday for a neighbor. Big hit! They loved them. They definately scream lemon – which is exactly what I was looking for.
