Lemon Cheesecake

1. Place the butter, brown sugar and syrup in a saucepan and heat over a low heat until the mixture has melted and is well blended, stirring.  Remove from the heat and stir in the cornflakes

2. Press the mixture over the base of a deep 20cm/8in loose-bottomed, round cake tin.  Chill for 30 minutes

3. Sprinkle the gelatin over 45 ml / 3 tbsp water in a bowl and leave to soak for few minutes.  Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until gelatin has dissolved. Place the cheese, yogurt, cream, lemon rind and juice, caster sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl and beat until smooth and thoroughly mixed.

4. Add the hot gelatin to the cheese and lemon mixture and beat until well mixed.

5. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the cheese mixture.

6. Pour the cheese mixture over the cornflakes base and gently level the surface.  Chill for 4-5 hours until the filling has set.  Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin and place on a serving plate.  Decorate with the mixed fresh fruits, dust with icing sugar and serve immediately in slices.
