Lemon Cream Danish (paleo)

If you are looking for a wonderful dessert or brunch idea that is easy and sure to please than this is it. This danish is full of lemon flavor and not too sweet.  I have made it dozens of times and it is always a crowd pleaser!  I have subbed out the honey for only stevia to make it for my brother and it tasted just as great.  If you want it more firm then add an extra egg to the lemon cream layer. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
