I think I'll make this for my mother's birthday..but graham crackers do not exist in germany. Do you think I can take any kind of crackers or is there something special about graham crackers? ...I don't know them :/

@LadyJumoo

If you saw my blackberry cheesecake recipe it uses golden oreo cookies. Maybe you can use that.

TIP: Break apart the candied lemon and suck on the lemon rind like candy!

Good stuff. I wonder how you could make the cake itself more lemony without messing up the consistency. Really tasty!
