   time Prepare in Advance: Yes Make the dough. Mix together all the
   ingredients, except the egg yolk, until the mixture resembles fine
   breadcrumbs.  Add the egg yolk and quickly work into the dough. Set aside
   in the fridge to rest for at least 1 hour.
   
   Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6.  Roll out the dough and use to
   line a high-sided, loose-bottomed cake tin. Prick the base with a fork.
   Bake the dough shell blind for 10 mins.
   
   Make the filling.  Separate the eggs.  Press the curd cheese through a
   sieve.
   
   Mix together all the ingredients, except the egg whites. Beat the egg
   whites to form stiff peaks and fold them into the mixture. Pour the filling
   into the dough shell.
   
   Bake for approximately 40-50 mins, until the mixture feels firm. Cover with
   foil if the top starts to brown before the filling has cooked.
   
   Serve cold with a pure of strawberries or raspberries.
