The recipe is for a 26 cm diameter springform pan. Brush with coconut oil or butter before baking.
Preheat oven to 160°C top/bottom heat, baking time 30 min.
Preparation:
Coarsely crush the cookies. To do this, place the cookies in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter in a pan, add the cookie crumbs and salt and mix everything thoroughly. Spread the cookie mixture evenly over the base of the tin, press down firmly and chill.
Whisk the cream cheese with the sour cream, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs and custard powder until smooth and stir in the lemon juice and zest at the end. Spread the cream evenly over the cookie base and bake in the preheated oven on the middle shelf for approx. 30 minutes. Then switch off the oven, open the door a crack and leave the cake to cool. Place in the fridge overnight.
In the meantime, prepare the berry sauce.
To do this, wash, clean and roughly chop the berries, puree with the sugar and stir in the chia seeds.
You can pour the berry sauce over the cake before serving or simply serve with it.
Fresh flowers (of course it's best to use edible flowers, such as pansies and daisies here, but they should definitely be unsprayed ;-)) or berries are particularly suitable for decorating, or Easter eggs, depending on the occasion.
