How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C with fan) and prepare a 23 cm mold with a little butter.
- Crush the cookies and most of the almonds until you obtain fine crumbs. Mix with the melted butter and press onto the bottom of the mold to form the base. Bake for 10 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Mix the Greek yogurt with the mascarpone until you obtain a homogeneous cream. Add the eggs one by one, incorporating well each time. Add the lemon and orange zest and most of the honey, reserving about 3 tablespoons for garnish.
- Pour the cheese mixture over the biscuit base. Cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for 15 more minutes until the top is firm and golden. Let cool completely before unmolding.
- When serving, decorate with the remaining almonds, drizzle with the reserved honey and serve with fresh fruit.
