Method
8 stepsStep 1
Crush the biscuits in a food processor or place them in a bag and bash with the flat end of a rolling pin.
Step 2
Melt the butter, pour over the crushed biscuits, then stir well so all the crumbs are moistened.
Step 3
Press into a 20cm loose-bottomed flan tin and chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 4
Beat together the condensed milk, lemon juice and zest. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then fold into the lemon mixture.
Step 5
Spoon into the flan case and level with the back of a spoon. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight, if possible.
Step 6
To serve, carefully remove the pie from the tin and sit on a serving plate.
Step 7
Warm the cherry jam gently and pass through a sieve to remove any skin. Allow to cool.
Step 8
Arrange the fresh cherries over the top of the pie, brush with the jam glaze and decorate with a mint sprig.
