Instructions
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until they form crumbs.
- In a small pan, melt together the sunflower spread and syrup, and stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press into the base of a 20cm round loose-bottom flan tin and chill while preparing the filling.
- Place the ricotta, lemon curd and caster sugar into a bowl and beat together. Fold in the orange and lemon zest.
- Pour the orange and lemon juice into a bowl, sprinkle over the gelatine and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Place over a pan of simmering water and heat gently until it dissolves. Beat into the ricotta mixture (with the Cointreau if using).
- Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into the filling.
- Spoon on top of the biscuit base and place in the fridge to set.
- To decorate, arrange the orange segments on top, toss the orange and lemon zest with the caster sugar and sprinkle over.
