Prepare the berry sauce.

  • Reserve about 1/3 cup (80g) berry sauce and set aside to cool down until ready to use.

Prepare the crust.

  • Line the sides of a round 8 or 9 inch (20-23 cm) springform pan with an acetate sheet and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor and crush until crumbs form. Add melted butter and lemon zest and mix until evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spoon.  Refrigerate until the filling is prepared.
