    Way too much lemon juice. I did use 6 lemons, as stated……but it was so bitter. Maybe say how much lemon juice as in mls.

      Thanks for the feedback. We like it lemony, but others may prefer a more subtle taste. Next time we make a batch we will measure the lemon juice in mls 🙂

    I don’t love shredded coconut. Any suggestions to replace it, as the rest looks yummy.

      Hi Rhyl. You could try macadamia or brazil nuts – however we haven’t tried that variation ourselves. Let us know how you go 🙂

    I want to try this recipe but I can’t read the quantites as they’re either symbols or asks for 33 eggs! Can you correct this please?
