180 grams plain sweet biscuits, crushed
1 cup coconut
125 grams butter, melted

Filling:

1 cup caster sugar
500 grams ricotta
4 eggs
juice of one lemon
2 teaspoons lemon zest

Process the biscuits and coconut in a food process until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the melted butter and process until combined. Press into the bottom of a greased 25cm springform pan (or line with baking paper first).

In a separate bowl whisk the eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat the mixture until it is thick. Beat in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Gently stir in the ricotta into the egg mix and combine well. Pour the mixture into the prepared base and bake at 180 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden on top and set.

Cool in the tin. Serve with tinned pears and double cream with a sprinkle of icing sugar on top.

Serves 8.
