Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a processor, grind the cookies until you obtain a coarse powder. Add the melted butter and mix until smooth. Line the bottom of a 22 cm removable mold with the result and press well. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
2. Beat the mascarpone cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Separate the yolks from the whites. Add the yolks and lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and add them gently to the mixture.
3. Combine the lemon juice and vanilla extract with the mixture. Pour over the cooled biscuit base and bake at 160°C for 35-40 minutes or until firm. Let cool completely before unmolding and serving.
