Blackberry No-bake Cake
Recipe for a delicious cake without eggs, without baking, without yeast. A tart with an oreo cookie base, a layer of chocolate ganache and a simple fruity cream. You can prepare the cake in 20-30 minutes and then just chill it in the fridge and it’s ready. If you use ready-made jam instead of preparing your own, you can prepare the cake even in 15 minutes!
To prepare the fruit cream, you can use any fruit (those that can be combined with gelatin), e.g. blueberries, currants, raspberries, strawberries or bananas.
You can use both fresh fruit and frozen.
If you have little time you can use ready-made jam, e.g. currant jam, instead of fruit.
If you prepare the cake in the summer and the temperature outside the window is 30 ° C, you can add more gelatin to the jam, thanks to which the cake will not melt in high temperature, if you intend to prepare it for an outdoor party.
What do you need to remember?
The only “difficulty” you may encounter while preparing this recipe is whipping the cream. Remember not to beat the cream to become butter, you need to feel the moment when you need to reduce the mixer speed and add jam to it.
What to do to prevent the cream from curdling?
Cream and mascarpone must be very well chilled. You can also refrigerate the mixer bowl and whisk to be sure.
How to make a crust without baking?
To make the crust without baking, just crush any cookies that are quite brittle and crunchy and mix the crumbs with melted butter. Butter can be replaced with e.g. coconut oil or chocolate. It is important to “glue” the crumbs with something that will harden in the refrigerator.
The crust must have enough butter not to crumble, but not too much so that it is not too greasy. If you use dry biscuits like digestive or cantuccini, you will need to add more butter than when using cream biscuits such as oreo.
Ready cookie mass is enough to put on a form, carefully stick the crust to the form and put it in the fridge for a few minutes for the crust to harden.
The no-bake cake is ideal for vegetarians, flexitarians and pescatarians.
The following proportions yield a tart with a diameter of 32 cm.
