- In a small bowl mix the cornflour, 75g of the caster sugar and the lemon juice together. Add this mixture to the raspberry puree.
- In a pan slowly bring the puree to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Allow the raspberry mixture to cool slightly and beat in the egg yolks and butter.
- Leave to cool completely.
- Spoon the mixture into the pastry case, spreading it evenly.
