No-bake cake is always easy. After all, there is no need to keep such a dessert in the oven, and then wait for the cakes to cool. It is also worth noting that completely different ingredients can be used to prepare this sweet dish. However, today we will consider only the option using dairy products and berries.

How to make a cottage cheese cake without baking

Required ingredients for the cake:

• shortbread cookies (you can take "Jubilee") - 150 g;
• fresh butter - 70g;
• cocoa powder - 1 large spoon;
• fresh milk - 2-3 large spoons.

The process of making the cake:

Surprisingly, no-bake cake also has a base in the form of a cake. However, it does not need to be kneaded and thermally processed, because it is made from shortbread cookies. Thus, you should take 150 g of a flour product, place it in a blender and grind it to a crumb state. After that, the cookies must be put in a bowl and added tohim 70 g of melted butter, cocoa powder and fresh milk. The resulting mass should be mixed, and then put into a special detachable form and carefully compacted (with a spoon, the bottom of a glass, etc.).

Required filling ingredients:

• frozen or fresh strawberries - 300 g;
• creamy cottage cheese - 200 g;
• strawberry yogurt - 300 ml;
• 30% chilled cream - 200ml;
• powdered sugar - 100 g;
• fresh warm milk - 50 ml;
• instant gelatin - 2 full large spoons.

Stuffing process:

No-bake cake is best made with fresh, high-fat dairy products. After all, such a dessert always turns out tender and very tasty. In order to make the strawberry filling, you need to put 2 large spoons of gelatin in a large cup, and then pour them with fresh milk and let it brew for one hour. At this time, 30% chilled cream should be placed in a bowl, add powdered sugar to it and beat vigorously with a hand whisk until airy foam is obtained. After that, you need to add creamy cottage cheese to the strawberry yogurt and mix them thoroughly using a mixer.

It is worth noting that a cake without baking will turn out much tastier if pieces of fresh berries are added to its filling. To do this, you need to take 300 g of strawberries, wash them in cold water, and then cut them into small cubes and put them in a mixture of yogurt and cottage cheese.

After the gelatin swells in milk, it should be slightly warmed up and added to the base mass along with whipped sweet cream. All ingredients must be mixed, and then completely poured over the shortbread crust.

In order for the no-bake strawberry cake to harden and acquire the desired shape, it is recommended to put the dishes with dessert in the refrigerator for 12-15 hours.

Proper serving

After the time has elapsed, the sweet dish with berries must be taken out of the refrigerator, carefully removed from the detachable form and transferred to the cake maker. Top dessert is recommended to decorate with fresh strawberries or other berries and fruits. You can also use any jam, jam, jelly, etc. to decorate the cake.
