Crumble the biscuits and mix with the melted butter. Place them in a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes at 180°C (top/bottom heat). Meanwhile, combine the Philadelphia, Skyr, sugar, and cornstarch. Then add the egg, lemon juice, and a dash of cream (not whipped) and mix well. Gently stir everything in; do not beat! Remove the base from the oven and spread with the jam. Then spread the cheese mixture on top. Bake the cake for another 30-40 minutes at 180°C, until the top is golden brown.
