Longest Common Palindromic Subtring

Does anyone know how to do this algorithm top-down with memoization? My first intuition was to reduce this problem to Longest Common Substring, but check each substring and see if it's a palindrome. I just can't figure out how to do this recursively. Can someone please help me out?

Problem Statement #

Given two strings ‘s1’ and ‘s2’, find the length of the longest palindromic
substring which is common in both the strings.

Example 1:

Input: s1 = "fbdbaccf"
       s2 = "tbdbaccf"
Output: 3
Explanation: The longest common substring is "bdb".

Example 2:

Input: s1 = "abcdefghimississippi"
       s2 = "abcdefghiississi"
Output: 7
Explanation: The longest common substring is "ississi".
