Ingredients

Cookie base:

150 g cookies (e.g., butter or digestive-type)
70 g melted butter

Lemon cream:

250 g mascarpone
80 g sugar
140 g plain yogurt
2 eggs
25 ml fresh lemon juice
vanilla to taste
2 tablespoons plain flour

Preparation procedure

Preparing the cookie base Crush the cookies finely, ideally in a blender. Mix them with the melted butter to form a moist, crumbly mixture. Press it evenly into the bottom of a cake tin (approx. 20 cm). Place the tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the base firm up.
Preparing the lemon cream Put the mascarpone, sugar and plain yogurt into a bowl. Add the eggs, lemon juice and vanilla. Finally stir in the plain flour. Mix everything thoroughly to create a smooth cream without lumps.
Baking Pour the cream onto the chilled cookie base. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and bake the dessert for approximately 25–30 minutes. The cream should set but remain soft and slightly creamy.
Chilling After baking, let the dessert cool completely at room temperature. Then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the cream firm up.
