  2. Beat the cream cheese, yoghurt, 25g caster sugar and lemon zest together until smooth. Add the gelatine mixture and stir until smooth. Pour into 4 stemmed glasses, cover and chill for 1 hour or until set.
  3. Put the remaining 25g caster sugar in a pan with the frozen summer fruits and 1 tbsp water. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Tip into a bowl and cool. Spoon the berry compote on top of the cheesecakes to serve.

    Very disappointed with this recipe, the lemon was far too overpowering, if I did it again I would probably use a little orange juice instead of lemon.
