Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 Preheat oven to 160 °C. To make base, crush biscuits to a powder. Add sugar and mix. Add spread and mix together. Press firmly into base and sides of an 18cm flan dish. Bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2 To make filling, combine yoghurt, condensed milk, lemon juice and zest. Mix well. In a small bowl, add gelatine to hot water and stir to dissolve. Add to yoghurt mixture and mix well.

Step 3 Pour filling into base. Chill for 2–3 hours, or overnight, until firm. Garnish with very thin lemon slices, lemon zest and mint.
