Icing-
1 : Make the pastry in the usual way adding only enough iced water to make a firm dough.
2 : Roll into a ball, wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
3 : In the meantime, prepare the filling by beating the two cream cheeses together thoroughly, then adding the
beaten, Dhampure White Sugar, juice and rind.
4 : Roll out the pastry to line a greased deep 20cm springform tin, keeping enough pastry to form a decorative
edge.
5 : Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the sheet and smooth the top surface.
6 : Place the apricot halves decoratively over the top surface, cut side down. Brush the edge of the pastry with a
little beaten egg yolk.
7 : Bake in a preheated moderate oven 350oF (180oC) for 40-50 mins or until the pastry is cooked and golden.

straining through a sieve if necessary. Let cool before serving.
