Ingredients

For the base:

  • 200 gr of Cookies (Vocation type)
  • 100 gr of Butter (melted)

For the filling:

  • 400 gr of condensed milk
  • 3 Yolks
  • 120 ml lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

For coverage:

  • 200 ml of milk cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Thin slices of lemon (optional to decorate)

Preparation

  1. To start, preheat the oven to 180° C.
  2. First of all, pulverize the cookies until you obtain fine crumbs. You can do this by using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  3. Combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Line the bottom of a removable cake pan with the cookie and butter mixture.
  4. Press firmly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form an even layer.
  5. Immediately bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.
  6. In a large container or bowl, mix the condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon zest until you obtain a smooth mixture without lumps.
  7. Next step, pour the lemon mixture over the already baked cookie base and spread it evenly.
  8. Place back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is firm but slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. While the cake is cooling, prepare the topping by whipping the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake. You can decorate with thin slices of lemon if you wish.
  11. Finally, put the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
