Method
MAKE THE BISCUIT BASE
1. Line a 20cm (8 inches) springform tin with baking parchment and set aside.
2. In a skillet, place the hazelnuts and toast over medium heat for a few minutes, until they are close to toasted (not quite fragrant).
3. Add cookies to a large freezer bag and and crush with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Repeat the procedure for hazelnuts.
4. In a bowl, combine crushed cookies and crushed hazelnuts. Mix with the melted butter. Press onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
MAKE THE FILLING
5. Add the gelatin leaves to a bowl with cold water and let soak for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes soft.
6. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined. Add the cranberries (drained), reserving 2 tablespoons for decoration. Set aside.
7. Add the soaked gelatin leaves to a small saucepan and heat up gently. As soon as the gelatin has melted, add about 1-2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to the saucepan and mix with the gelatin. Gradually stir the disolved gelatin in yogurt-cranberry mixture and mix well.
8. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold into yoghurt-cranberry mixture. Pour into the springform tin on top of the butter cookies base and smooth out the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Decorate with cranberries and grated chocolat
