-

Course: dessert

Serves: 10

Prep: 30 mins, plus chilling

Cook: about 1 hour Vegetarian

250 g (9 oz) plain flour, plus extra for dusting

125 g (4½ oz) butter

50 g (1¾ oz) icing sugar, plus extra for dusting

1 egg, beaten

½ lemon, grated zest and juice

For the Filling:

250 g (9 oz) Greek-style yoghurt

1 x 400 g (14 oz) can condensed milk

4 eggs

2 limes, grated zest and juice

For the Topping:

50 g (1¾ oz) Greek-style yoghurt

250 g (9 oz) seasonal berries

To Serve: icing sugar.

1 To make the pastry, put the flour, butter and icing sugar in a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the egg, lemon zest and juice and pulse a few times to bring the pastry together.

2 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry and use to line a loose-bottomed, deep, 23 cm (9 in) tart tin. Prick the base all over with a fork and chill for 15 to 30 minutes.

3 Pre-heat the oven to 190 deg. C., 375 deg. F., Gas Mark 5.

4 Line the pastry case with a circle of non-stick baking paper, then fill with baking beans. Put the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and cook for about 5 more minutes until the pastry is crisp and dry.

5 To make the filling, put the yoghurt, condensed milk, eggs, lime zest and juice in a bowl and beat until smooth.

6 Turn oven down to 160 deg. C., 320 deg. F., Gas Mark 3.

7 Pour the filling into the pastry case (still on the baking sheet) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the filling is just set, with a slight wobble, and lightly coloured on top. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

8 For the topping, spread the yoghurt over the filling. Scatter the berries over the yoghurt. Sift a little icing sugar over the berries to serve.
