Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Be patient during the chilling process; it ensures clean slices. Explore different cookie types for unique textures. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze (without topping) for up to a month. For extra citrus flavor, add lemon zest to the gelatin mixture.
