I was quite disappointed in the taste of this. It was a bit too sour and and it seemed like it was missing something. I think that adding some lemon zest would have smoothed the flavors out a bit. I dont think the lemon juice needs to be decreased just balanced a bit. It did thicken up nicely and made a wonderfully thick creamy sauce though.
