WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Place the cereal hoops in to a food processor and whiz until they are broken into crumbs. Or you can place them into a bag and bash with a rolling pin.
- Transfer to a large bowl and mix in the melted low-fat spread, stirring through until all the crushed cereal hoops are thoroughly coated.
- Turn into a 23cm spring collar cake tin and press the mixture right into the bottom to form a base. Put this in the fridge for at least 30 mins to set.
- Mix together the cream cheese, lemon zest, Greek yogurt, sugar and lemon juice and stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the cream until it's a thick consistency and starts to stiffen. Add this to the cream cheese mix, folding through well.
- Spoon this mix on to the top of the base. Decorate the top with a couple of mint leaves and place in the fridge to set overnight.
