Salt 7.5 g
Eggs 150 g
Yolks 56.7 g

Reserve 75 g of the sugar. Put this into a mixer bowl with the egg whites for later.
With a paddle attachment and on low speed, beat the cream cheese until creamy and free of lumps. Add the cornstarch, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and salt. Blend in but do not whip. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Gradually add the yolks then the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Scrape. Add the cream, milk and lemon juice and mix until combined.

When you are ready to assemble, whip together the whites and the reserved sugar to soft peaks. Fold this into the cream cheese mixture.

Take out some of the mixture and measure it into a bowl. Add up to 30% of the weight of the mixture with fruit puree. If the puree does not have much color to it, you can either add chocolate into the other portion of the batter or add food coloring to the flavored batter.
