  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Decorate with fruit and chill in the fridge before serving.
