How to prepare: Cold lemon cake


Start the preparation of the cold lemon cake from the base: finely chop the biscuits with the mixer, put them in a bowl and mix them with the melted butter. Alternatively, you can pulverize them with a meat mallet after having closed them in a food bag. Arrange the mixture to cover the bottom of a 22 cm diameter springform pan, leveling well with the back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator until ready to compose the dessert.


Soak the gelatin in cold water for the time indicated on the package, about 10 minutes. In a bowl, whip the yogurt with the icing sugar, the cream, the lemon juice and its grated zest until the mixture is smooth. Place the milk in a saucepan and let it heat up. Add the well-squeezed gelatin and stir until dissolved.


Let it cool and add the mixture to the fresh cheese mixture, mixing well. Pour everything over the biscuit base, level and place in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. After this time, decorate the surface of the cake with lemon wedges and meringues to taste.
