Melt the butter and mix with the digestive biscuits and cardamom in a food processer. Press the mixture onto the base of a round spring form tin, about 22 cm in diameter.

Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl. Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth.

Whip the cream in another bowl and fold into the cream cheese mixture. Finally, add the lemon juice and grated zest.
