Steps

  • Grease and line a 23cm spring-form cake tin with melted butter and greaseproof paper.
  • Crush the gingernut biscuits in a food processor until they achieve a fine breadcrumb texture.

  • Soak gelatine leaves in cold water for 10 minutes until soft.
  • Fold mascarpone, lemon zest, whipped cream, and caster sugar together in a bowl.
  • Dissolve the softened gelatine in warm lemon juice and 30ml of water over a low heat.
  • Combine the gelatine mixture into the mascarpone cream and marble through the lemon curd.
  • Pour the filling over the base, smooth the top, and chill in the fridge overnight.
  • Remove from the tin, garnish with berries, mint, and icing sugar, then serve.
