  • Bake for 10 mins until crisp
  • Stir or mash together the yogurt and mascarpone, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time
  • Stir in the lemon and orange zests, then stir in most of the honey, reserving about 3 tbsp
  • Spread over the biscuit base, cover loosely with foil and cook for 1 hr
  • Remove the foil and cook for 15 mins more until lightly golden and the top is firm with just the slightest wobble in the middle
  • Leave to cool
  • Can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days
  • To serve, scatter with almonds, drizzle over the remaining honey, and hand around fresh fruit to go with it
