 I had to break the ladyfingers in half in order to get them to stand up. I could only find ones with rounded bottoms and they were not going to stand up on their own. 

But other than that this was excellent. Everyone loved it. I will probably add more lemon curd next time (as we all really like the lemon flavor) but it was a nice light dessert that was refreshing. I am thinking of adding it to our summer holiday menus as a nice light treat.

I made this for a co-workers birthday at work. We all loved it! It was very light, not heavy at all.

I do agree that it needs a bit more lemon tang. Extra curd could be added.

I skirted the issue of the bottom sticking to the pan by lining my pan with wax paper that I had greased. I was afraid that it would stick.

The amount of whip cream was just fine.

Quick and very easy to make! Rave reviews!

I made this dessert, but made some changes. could only find crunchy ladyfingers and they were hard to stand up in pan. I think the whipping cream should be cut in half and the lemon curd doubled. It was not lemony enough and it didn't set up as I expected. I couldn't get it off the bottom of my springform pan without the whole thing tipping over. I would make this again with the changes indicated above. I did add extra lemon curd to the one I made and everyone really liked it. I will look for soft ladyfingers next time too.
