Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare the ingredients. Measure out the required amounts for the dough and filling right away.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    First, prepare the custard cream. There is a classic recipe, but I make it in a way that's convenient for me. Put egg yolks, lemon zest, and sugar into a saucepan. Thoroughly mix with a whisk.

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Add flour to the yolks. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Step 4

    Add the milk in small portions, constantly whisking to make the mixture smooth and lump-free.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Step 5

    Place the egg-milk mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil, continuously stirring the cream with a whisk.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Bring the custard cream to a thick consistency. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. To do this, I prepare a large pot filled with ice water, place the saucepan into the pot, and cool the cream. Constantly stir with a whisk to prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the cream.

    Step 7

    Cover the warm cream with plastic wrap. Set aside for now.

    Turn on the machine for a couple of minutes to obtain a uniform crumb.

    Step 10

    Step 10

    Into a springform pan, add 2/3 of the dough (previously line the pan with parchment paper), use a tablespoon to shape the edges (pressing the crumbs against the sides with the back of the spoon), and evenly spread the crumbs over the bottom.

  11. 11

    Step 11

    Step 11

    Use a tablespoon to scoop the custard cream and carefully place it into the mold, making sure not to displace the crumbs. Smooth the top.

    Step 12

    Step 12

    Sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the top of the pie. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes.

    Let the finished cake cool completely in the pan. Then refrigerate for an hour.
