Ingredients
Find it too sour? Try pureeing a handful of strawberries, raspberries and some sweetner to make a coulis to drizzle over and around each portion.
- 100g (4oz) reduced-fat digestive biscuits
- 75g (3oz) low-fat spread, melted
- 500g (1lb) cottage cheese
- 100g (4oz) light cane sugar
- 2 lemons; juice of both, zest of 1
- 1 large free-range egg, plus 1 large egg white
- 250g (½ lb) raspberries or small strawberries
Method
- Put biscuits in a bag and crush with a rolling pin then put crumbs in a bowl and pour over melted spread. Stir and press into the base of a 15cm-square tin lined with greaseproof paper then chill.
- Beat cottage cheese, sugar, lemon juice and zest together in a bowl until smooth. Beat in egg and white; pour into tin, level and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F, gas mark 2) for 35 mins. Turn off oven and leave door open to cool the cake slowly, this prevents cracking.
- Decorate with fruit and chill in the fridge before serving.
