Method
Grease a 27cm flan ring and a baking sheet or springform cake tin.
Melt the butter and mix in the biscuit crumbs.
Press into the base of the prepared ring/tin.
Place the curd cheese in a mixing bowl and break it down before adding the egg, lemon and sugar.
Beat well until evenly blended and turn onto the crumb base.

Plate up and arrange the mixed berries on the top.

Tips
A fruit topping is nicest but an alternative could be a mix of sour cream and whipped double cream, sprinkled with toasted flaked almonds.
70g of raisins could also be added to this alternative before being baked.
