I totally agree with the previous reviewer. These tasted great, but were a little awkward to eat. I guess I expected them to 'set up' a little more, but even after 24 hours in the fridge, the consistency didn't seem thick enough. I'll make them again, but serve them in something sturdier than a paper cupcake liner.

These were very tasty but I couldn't get them to set. I followed the recipe to a t. I'm not sure what happened but they would have been much easier to eat without the paper and using a spoon in a custard cup.

I made these exactly to the recipe. Very easy to follow instructions, very quick and easy to make, very attractive and very delicious. I wasn’t sure what lemon juice concentrate was, so I used lemon juice, and added some lemon zest, which worked just fine. Next time, I’m going to try this recipe with another berry, probably raspberries. Thanks for a great recipe which, with such minimum effort, produced such a yummy result. I served these at a family dinner, and everyone loved them! A great hungry-horde-pleasing recipe!
