For the filling: heat the milk, sugar, salt, lemon zest and egg yolks in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Stir until smooth and thickened. Remove from the heat.

Sprinkle the gelatine over the water in a small bowl and leave to stand for 5 minutes.

When the soured cream mixture begins to set stir in the cream cheese, then gently fold in the whipped cream.
