Remarks
If you don't have any Arlesian biscuits, as suggested in the recipe, you can use any other shortbread-type biscuits (Breton galettes, for example) or small pieces of sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) that has been rolled out, baked and cooled.
Once the biscuits are in contact with the lemon custard, they will start to go soft, unfortunately, so the dessert should be left too long before serving.
