Method

  1. Put two-thirds of the lemon curd into a large bowl with the zest and cream, then beat with an electric whisk until it just holds its shape. Dribble over the rest of the lemon curd and divide between 6 small glass pots or glasses, marbling the curd through as you go. Sit the pots on a small tray, cover the whole lot with cling film and freeze for 30-40 minutes.
  2. Put the biscuits in a strong plastic bag and bash with the end of a rolling pin to crumbs. When you're ready for pudding, remove the pots from the freezer (they should be ice cold but still soft and creamy), top with crumbs and serve.

    I agree with Mamma Smith's comments, it tastes like you've been in the kitchen for hours! A winner for any dinner with friends or just in a big bowl by yourself!

    Made this as a dessert for our first bbq of year - it was delicious and so easy! So impressive that I've made it twice since with a bit of a twist: I used raspberry curd and fresh raspberries instead of the lemon and the next time, lime curd with chocolate drops mixed in. I served these last two with chocolate chip cookies. Intend to carry on right through the summer with every variation I can think of and to take into account fruits in season!

    This is fantastic. So easy but totally impressive. I doubled the amount of cream and used Fudges lemon shortbread dipped in white chocolate on top. My cheffy pals can't believe how deceptively simple it is ...
