WOW!!! One of my all time favorites. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Have made it several times. No problem with running (maybe other reviewer didn't beat lemon layer ingredients enough?) Carried it to church pot luck and got several compliments. One person said it was HEAVEN.

I have made this recipe several times and think it is wonderful. I have also been asked for the recipe. My lemon layer was not runny (maybe because I made it a day ahead); nor tart and it is not that hard to make.

The crust was good, the cream cheese layer was tasty, but the lemon layer was runny and very tart. I won't make this again, a lot of time and energy for a not so good recipe!
