2. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
3. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg white until stiff and chill, mix the egg yolks with the powdered sugar to a light cream. Grate the zest of the lemons (or tear the zest) and add the grated zest to the batter. Cut open the vanilla pods, scrape out the pulp and add the pulp to the ice cream. Then add the cinnamon and almonds and mix everything together well. The dough is still a bit tough at this point.
4. Now stir in half of the egg whites, this will make the dough smoother. Carefully fold in the other half of the egg whites and immediately pour the dough into the prepared pan.
