Lemon filling
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To add this lemon filling to a cake or pie, it's best to cook it for 2-3 minutes with cornstarch. After cooling, the dessert will thicken, and you'll be able to spread it over a cake layer or puff pastry for a pie. The finished dessert can be served immediately.
