If you don't have time to cook a complex dessert, and you want to surprise your guests with something unusual, make a cake from cookies. Easy to perform, it will delight even the most discerning sweet tooth with its delicate taste. The cakes in this cake do not require baking, which significantly reduces the cooking time.
You need
- shortbread cookies - 500 g;
- sugar - 100 g;
- cottage cheese - 300 g;
- butter - 100 g;
- banana - 3 pcs;
- milk - 1 glass;
- vanillin - 1 tsp
Remove the butter from the refrigerator to thaw it. Grind sugar in a coffee grinder to a powder state. Rub the curd through a sieve. Mash the softened butter with powdered sugar and vanilla, add cottage cheese and mix into a homogeneous mass. Peel the bananas, cut into thin slices.
Pour milk into a deep bowl. Dip each cookie alternately in milk for a few seconds and place on a cake dish so that a cookie crust is obtained. Put some of the curd cream on top and spread it evenly over the surface of the cake. Then spread the banana slices so that they completely cover the cream. The next layer of cake will again be cookies soaked in milk, then again cream and bananas. Place the biscuit crust on top and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
You can serve the finished dessert right away. If possible, let the cake stand and soak for a while to create a delicate treat that will melt in your mouth.
A Few Tips
For this dessert, take cottage cheese not sour and not too fatty. After wiping it through a sieve, soften dry cottage cheese by adding one or two tablespoons of sour cream. To make the cream even more fluffy, whisk it in a blender or food processor.
The biscuit cake cream options are quite varied. For example, put raisins, nuts or poppy seeds in curd cream. For a chocolate-colored cream, add a couple of teaspoons of cocoa. Use kiwi or fresh berries instead of bananas. You can make a custard, or you can mix condensed milk with walnuts.
Use strong sweet coffee as an impregnation for cookies, just remember that you only need to dip the cookies in liquid for a few seconds so that they do not have time to get wet.
You can make cakes from crumbled biscuits mixed with melted butter and condensed milk. It is good to decorate the top cake with grated chocolate, nuts, fruits, berries (fresh or from jam) or cover with icing.
Regardless of how exactly the cookie cake is made, send it to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so that the cakes become softer and the dessert itself acquires a richer and richer taste.
