Ingredients
Oil for greasing
175 g ginger or lemon crunch biscuits
75 g toasted almonds
50 g melted butter
4 large lemons
2 x 397g cans condensed milk
600 ml double cream
Directions
Step 1Lightly brush an 18-20.5cm spring-release tin with oil and base-line with baking parchment. Alternatively, oil a similar-sized deep flan ring; place on an oiled baking sheet.
Step 2Process biscuits and almonds together for about 1min or until roughly chopped. Mix together with the butter. Press the mixture into the base of the tin and chill for at least 30min.
Step 3Meanwhile, grate the rind and squeeze the juice of the lemons - there should be about 200ml juice. Pour the condensed milk into a bowl and stir in the cream. Stirring constantly, add the rind and juice a little at a time (the mixture will thicken dramatically). Pour over the biscuit base and refrigerate overnight to set.
Prepare ahead: Complete the recipe and keep in the fridge for up to three days.
To freeze: Pack and freeze at end of step 3. To serve. Thaw at room temperature for 4hr, then chill again for at least 15min before serving.
