  • For the crust, crush the cinnamon cookies in the blender until you obtain a fine powder. Add the butter and form a crust at the base of a 22 cm diameter pie mold. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • For the filling, in a small pot heat the milk along with the rest of the sugar and the zest of one lemon to make an infusion. Add a little of the hot milk to the yolks and mix immediately, return the yolks to the pot with milk and cook for 5 minutes over low heat until thickened, remove from heat and add the hydrated gelatin. Cool.
  • Whip the cream until soft peaks form and gently fold in the lemon mixture. Pour into the mold with the crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
  • For the gelée, heat the lemon juice along with the sugar and the zest of one piece in a small pot. Add the previously hydrated gelatin and let it melt, mix well. Let cool to room temperature. Pour over the cake and return to the refrigerator to set the gelée.
