This cake consists of oat crust, which can be gluten-free if you use oats that complies with this. A cream cheese filling, made with eggs and a lot of lemon zest and a rich honey meringue.

For a gluten-free option use gluten-free oats, which you can get at any store specializing in celiac products.
