Start this recipe by placing a layer of vanilla sponge into the base of a round cake tin. Soak with a little limoncello or soaking syrup. Next, blitz, together in a food processor the ricotta, mascarpone, lemon zest, icing sugar and vanilla till smooth. Next, soak the gelatin sheets in water till soft, then melt in a pan with the lemon juice.  When ready, stir into the cheesecake mixture, followed by half of the blueberries.
