Directions

1. Cut filo into circles of about 32cm in diameter.

2. Line an ungreased 20cm springform pan with filo, spraying or brushing lightly with oil between sheets. The filo should sit above the final level of the filling but this excess can be trimmed away after baking.

3. Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add castor sugar and beat again until mixed in.

4. In a separate bowl, beat ricotta until smooth and add vanilla, flour, rind and peel. Combine with egg mixture.

5. Pour into the lined pan, smooth top and bake in a moderate oven 180° C for 50-60 minutes or until the centre of the filling is firm. Allow to cool and refrigerate before serving.

6. Cut into wedges and serve with berry sauce topped with sliced strawberries and blueberries.

To make accompaniment:
Reserve 3 or 4 of the strawberries plus a handful of blueberries for decoration. Puree the rest coarsely with sugar and liqueur.
