    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Base

    1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas 4).
    2. Prepare the Tin: Place a fluted 20cm round loose-bottomed tin (about 5cm deep) on a baking sheet.
    3. Crush the Biscuits: Break the digestive biscuits into a large bowl or double-bag them in food bags. Use a rolling pin or small saucepan to crush them into large crumbs.
    4. Add Cornflakes: Add the cornflakes to the crushed biscuits and bash them a bit more until they resemble crumbs.
    5. Mix with Butter and Sugar: Combine the crumbs with melted butter and caster sugar. Mix well.
    6. Press into Tin: Press the mixture firmly into the base and sides of the tin.
    7. Bake the Base: Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. After baking, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (140°C fan/gas 3).

    Step 2: Make the Filling

    1. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the whole egg and egg yolks until pale and frothy.
    2. Add Condensed Milk: Whisk in the light condensed milk until well combined.
    3. Add Zests and Juices: Stir in the zest and juice of the lemons and oranges.
    4. Pour into Tin: Pour the filling into the baked biscuit base.

    Step 3: Bake and Chill

    1. Bake the Filling: Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
    2. Cool the Pie: Once baked, cool the pie in the tin, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or overnight for best results.

    Step 4: Serve

    1. Prepare Topping: Whip together the extra-thick double cream, 0% fat Greek yogurt, and icing sugar until smooth.
    2. Top the Pie: Dollop the whipped mixture on top of the chilled pie.
    3. Decorate: Scatter with extra lemon and orange zest before serving.
