For the topping
- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries

Instructions
- For the hung yogurt – Place the yogurt on a strainer lined with muslin cloth and let it rest for 3 hours. After three hours you will have really thick yogurt. Set aside.
- For the Paneer – Boil 750 ml of milk in a pan and let it come to a boil. Add 2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice when the milk is boiling and bubbling over. stir for a minute with a spatula until the milk curdles. Remove off heat. Strain the mixture and you will be left with soft paneer. Set aside.
- For the Digestive Biscuit Crust – Break up the biscuits and place in a food processor / mixie along with the butter and pulse it to crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of the removable cake pan. Make sure its even. Use a spoon to press the crumbs to adhere to the pan. Set aside.
- Filling
- Powder the sugar in a food processor / mixie to a smooth powder. Set aside.
- Add the hung yogurt and the paneer and pulse it in a blender until smooth. Add in the cream, sugar, salt and vanilla extract and pulse it 2-3 times until combined.
- Take a small cup and mix the gelatin with 1/4 cup water and set aside for 5 minutes. The gelatin will absorb all the water and puff up. After 5 minutes heat it in a microwave for 20-30 seconds until completely melted. Let it cool slightly.
- Add the gelatin mixture to the filling mixture and mix well to combine. Add it to the cake pan. Leave it to set in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Notes
Milk – Its preferable to use full fat milk for making yogurt and paneer.
I spread an old newspaper on the kitchen counter top while making this recipe, so after the spills etc….cleanup is easier.
