Beat together curd cheese, egg yolks, grated rind and juice of one lemon, 2 oz castor sugar and lightly whipped cream.

From the remaining rind, cut slivers free of white pith; cut these into fine julienne strips.

Stiffly whisk egg white and fold into cheese mixture. Spread over baked pastry, scatter julienne strips over and bake for a further 30-35 minutes at 375 degrees F until topping is set. Serve slightly warm, cut into squares and eat with a fork.
