Lightly oil and line the base
and sides of a 20 cm diameter spring form tin with plastic
wrap. Combine the biscuit crumbs and butter in a small
bowl and press evenly over the base of the tin.
Refrigerate while making the filling.
-
Combine the ricotta and sugar
in a food processor until smooth. Add all the fromage
frais, the lemon rind and juice and mix well. Put 60ml
water in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatine in an even
layer onto the surface and leave to go spongy. Bring a
small pan of water to the boil, remove from the heat and
put the gelatine bowl in the pan. The water should come
halfway up the sides of the bowl. Stir the gelatine until
clear and dissolved, then cool slightly. Stir the gelatine
mixture into the ricotta mixture, then transfer to a large
bowl. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then fold
into the ricotta mixture.
-
Pour the mixture into the
prepared tin and refrigerate for several hours or
overnight, until set. Carefully remove from the tin by
removing the side and gently easing the plastic from
underneath. Decorate with the strawberries.
