    I tried this recipe a couple days ago and I absolutely loved it! So easy to make and so yumm! I did think it tasted a little too ‘sour’ because of the 2 tbsp of lemon juice I put in, but next time I’ll just use 1tbsp. Next time I’ll make sure to make plenty so I can eat all the leftovers!!!

      Hi Lies,
      So glad that you liked the recipe 🙂
      Yes, maybe this was too much lemon juice.
      I hope it‘ll taste better if you use less lemon juice. But in such a case, when something gets too sour, you can also add a bit of sugar or syrup.
      Much love,
      Bianca ❤️
