Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Crush the cookies and mix them with the melted butter and lemon zest until forming a homogeneous dough. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Beat the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the filling over the cooled cookie base. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake is firm but slightly jiggly in the center.
- While the cake cools, mix the brown sugar with the remaining zest to make a citrus crumble. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes until golden.
- Wash and halve the strawberries. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
- Unmold the cake and decorate with the strawberries and citrus crumble just before serving.
