No-bake cake with gelatin and fruit is an indispensable dessert at any holiday event. Without baking, you will save valuable time that you can spend on preparing other dishes!

General principles of cake preparation

If you decide to make a cake without baking, you can prepare the dessert without cake layers or with a base.

In the 2nd case, you can go in 2 ways:

• Buy ready-made cakes at the store.
• Make your own cookie crust. For example, you can buy any inexpensive and fairly soft cookies (“Jubilee” or “For Coffee”), crush them with a rolling pin or using a blender, mix with a small amount of melted butter and form into cakes.

If there is no base in the cake, then you can use jelly, fruits or berries. The jelly itself can be prepared using the classic and simplest method based on ordinary food gelatin, using sour cream and natural fruit juice as the main component. If you add whipped cream to the dessert, you will get a very voluminous and colorful cake.

There are a few more useful tips to consider:

• To prevent the jelly from saturating and greatly softening the cakes, it is necessary to create a kind of insulating layer. For it you can use thick cream, thick jam or jam. The layer is applied in a very thin layer so that the dessert does not turn out too cloying.
• Jelly should not be poured over some fresh fruits, such as kiwi and pineapple. In this case, the jelly mass will not be able to harden. The only exception in this case are fruits that have undergone heat treatment. It is also possible to use fresh kiwi and pineapple when preparing jelly with agar-agar rather than gelatin.
• To fill this type of dessert, it is recommended to use a mold (preferably detachable) with high sides. You also need to ensure that the mold fits tightly to the workpiece.

• To make it easier to separate the jelly from the mold, you can place it in hot water for a while. If you are using a split-type mold, you can slightly heat its walls using a regular hair dryer.
• You can find special confectionery jelly on sale. It does not use gelatin, but other thickeners that have better properties. This jelly is much easier to work with. Just read the instructions. As a rule, such compositions harden much faster.

The calorie content of jelly cakes differs depending on the ingredients used, as well as what type of jelly was used.

The calorie content of the jelly itself ranges from 88 to 100 kcal. If cakes are used (ready-made or made from cookies), then this figure increases significantly. Therefore, if you want to make a diet cake without baking, then it is best to limit yourself to the jelly itself and low-calorie fruits.

Recipe with sour cream, berries and peaches

The most important thing when preparing dessert is to prepare the gelatin correctly. It must be remembered that the gelatin mass cannot be brought to a boil. You also need to ensure that the gelatin is completely dissolved and does not create lumps.

Ingredients

No-bake jelly cake is prepared using the following ingredients:

• 30 g dry gelatin;
• 1 tbsp. powdered sugar and blueberries (can be replaced with blueberries);
• 250 g fresh strawberries;
• 2 medium ripe apricots or peaches;
• 0.5 tbsp. boiled water;
• 400 g sour cream (it is best to use a product with a fat content of 10%).

Step-by-step cooking process

To prepare dessert:

1. First of all, you need to pour boiling water over the dry gelatin and mix the mass well. After this, you need to wait until it swells and cools.

2. During this time, you can prepare fruits and berries. It is necessary to remove the peel from peaches or apricots and divide each into 4 equal parts. Strawberries need to be cut into smaller pieces, and blueberries should only be washed.
3. Also, while the gelatin is cooling, you can mix sour cream and powdered sugar.
4. At the next stage, you need to very carefully pour the cooled gelatin into the sour cream mixture in a thin stream. In this case, you need to constantly stir it.
5. Next, you need to place the fruits in the jelly-sour cream mixture and distribute them with a spoon. You need to ensure that the fruits and berries are covered with the mixture.
6. All that remains is to cover the dish with the cake with cling film and refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours. It is best to leave it in the refrigerator overnight, then the cake will definitely harden.

When everything is ready, all that remains is to decorate the cake with whipped cream. Grated chocolate will also work.

With cookies and cottage cheese

If you want to make a more satisfying cake, you can also use sour cream, but complement the dessert with homemade cookie crusts.

Preparation next.

Ingredients

For this recipe you will need:

• 0.5 kg sour cream (10% fat);
• 0.5 tbsp. water;
• 100 g butter;
• 200 g of any cookies (usually Jubilee cookies are used for cakes, since they can be easily turned into a mixture for the crust);
• 2 tsp. vanilla sugar and the same amount of gelatin;
• 1 lemon;
• 50 g of ready-made Kiwi jelly;
• 160 g (a little more is possible) medium-fat cottage cheese (it’s better not to buy grainy cottage cheese for this recipe).

Step-by-step cooking process

In this case, a jelly cake without baking is prepared as follows:

1. First you need to crush the cookies so that they turn into crumbs. The easiest way to do this is to use a blender. If you don’t have it at hand, then an ordinary rolling pin will do, which just needs to roll out the cookies several times.
2. After this, you need to soften the butter (leave it at room temperature until it becomes soft) and mix it with the cookie crumbs. You will get a mass that can easily be rolled out into a cake. Next, you need to place it in a round shape, compact it and put it in the refrigerator.
3. While the cakes are cooling, it is recommended to prepare the gelatin. To do this, you can proceed as described above or use another method. To do this, you need to pour dry gelatin with cold water and wait for the mass to swell (the waiting time should be indicated in the instructions). After this, you need to slightly heat the gelatin on the stove, stirring constantly until all the clots have dissolved. Under no circumstances should you bring it to a boil.
4. When the gelatin is ready, it must be cooled.
5. While the gelatin mass is cooling, you need to mix the cottage cheese with sugar, vanillin and sour cream. You also need to add 3 tsp to this mixture. lemon juice.
6. The resulting curd mass must be whipped until the sugar is completely dissolved in it.
7. After this, you need to pour gelatin into the curd mass. This should be done slowly, constantly stirring the contents of the container.
8. At the next stage, you need to pour the prepared cream onto the cookie crust and put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
9. After this you need to prepare additional jelly. To do this, you need to follow step 3, but reduce the amount of water by half. The resulting thicker jelly must be poured onto the cake and the dessert should be put back into the refrigerator for 2 hours.

When everything is ready, all that remains is to decorate the cake. To do this, you can use lemon zest, fruits, berries, or any decorations purchased in the store.

Strawberry cake with gelatin soufflé

Products for cooking:

• fresh strawberries - 415 grams;
• warm water - 0.5 cups;
• high fat sour cream - 535 ml;
• “Jubilee” or “Creamy” cookies - 125 grams;
• granulated sugar - 210 grams;
• frozen strawberries - 215 grams;
• granulated gelatin - 23 grams.

Step by step recipe:

To prepare a cake without using baked goods with gelatin, fruits and cookies, you need to defrost the berries in advance. To do this, they are transferred to a bowl and left in this form until completely defrosted. Some people prefer to use a microwave for this purpose, but such heating will spoil the taste of the berries. As soon as the strawberries are thawed, only part of the sugar is added to it; we will need no more than fifty grams of the product. The mass is transferred to a blender and crushed to a liquid puree.

Now take a separate plate, pour half a glass of water into it, and add gelatin. Infuse this gelatin mixture for 40 minutes. You can also prepare fresh strawberries; they are washed in water and then the green tails are removed. For the cake, you need to cut the strawberries into thin plates or pieces.

Preparing the base for the cake:

The next step is to deal with cookies; in our case, it is better to use “Yubileinoe” cookies, since they easily break into pieces. The cookies are transferred to a blender bowl and then crushed to crumbs. Still, you shouldn’t grind it too much, as small grains will quickly get soaked in the cream and turn into porridge.

The sour cream is whipped using a mixer; we use exclusively fatty product, since only in this case the soufflé will keep its shape. The cream is brought to fluffiness, and then the remaining granulated sugar is added in small portions. It is necessary to beat the mixture until the granulated sugar is completely dissolved in the cream. Gelatin is dissolved in a steam bath, and then introduced in a thin stream into the prepared cream of sour cream and sugar. Mix everything thoroughly.

Cake formation process:

To prepare a no-bake cake with gelatin, fruit and sour cream, we need a round silicone mold. One layer of cookies is placed at the very bottom, and it is best to mix it with melted butter, this will give the cookies their shape. It is very important to compact the layer of crumbs well. They begin to spread the cream on top; we will need about a third of the entire mass.

The next step is to spread jam from thawed strawberries and granulated sugar, and you can put a few berry pieces on top. If there is still berry jam left, then it is poured into the creamy mass and everything is mixed. This mixture is poured over the top of the cake.

Berries or strawberry slices are used as decoration. The mold is refrigerated for at least four hours.

With biscuit

This is a very quick option for preparing a cake, which in its taste is in no way inferior to ready-made desserts from a confectionery shop.

At the same time, the cake is very light and contains very few calories.

Ingredients

To prepare the dessert you will need:

• 1 sponge cake per 300 g (it’s easiest to buy ready-made cake);
• 400 g of fresh fruit (you can use any depending on your taste preferences);
• 700 g sour cream (it is better to choose a product with at least 20% fat content);
• 300 g granulated sugar;
• 30 g dry gelatin;
• 0.5 tbsp. water;
• a pinch of vanillin.

Step-by-step cooking process

To prepare this dessert:

1. First of all, you need to prepare gelatin using one of the methods already described above.
2. While the gelatin swells, you need to wash and cut the fruit (you can also use berries) into pieces. After this, it is advisable to blot them with a paper towel to collect excess moisture.
3. Next you need to prepare the cream. To do this, add sugar and vanillin to the sour cream. After this, the mass is thoroughly beaten. The sugar should completely dissolve. However, you cannot beat the sour cream too vigorously and for a long time. Otherwise, it may turn into oil and you won’t be able to make a tender cake.
4. The next step is to cut the sponge cake into large pieces.
5. After this, you need to add gelatin to the sour cream mass and mix everything using a mixer.
6. Next, place cling film on the bottom of the mold. This will make it much easier and faster to remove the cake when it's ready. Place fruit on the bottom of the mold. Keep in mind that the bottom will ultimately be the top of the cake, so you need to carefully arrange the ingredients.
7. After this, you need to place pieces of sponge cake on the fruits and berries and pour sour cream into the mold. Next, it is recommended to shake the mold a little so that the mass fills all the voids well.
8. All that remains is to put the cake in the refrigerator for several hours (it is advisable to also cover the top part with cling film).

When the cake has hardened, simply turn the pan over and place the cake on a plate.

Cake Broken glass with sour cream and jelly without baking step by step

The delicious broken glass jelly cake is popular not only in the summer heat, but also on winter holidays. You always want to surprise your guests with something wonderful and serve a light dessert.

In every sense of the word, an excellent alternative to cakes and other baked goods. You can supplement it with biscuits or cookies. Many people like to put marmalade, marshmallows and other candies.

Ingredients:

• 3 colors of jelly 90 grams each
• 900 ml. water
• 25 grams of gelatin
• 600 grams of sour cream
• 250 grams of water
• 300 grams of powdered sugar or sugar
• vanilla sugar optional

The jelly should not be diluted as indicated on the package; it usually requires 400-500 ml. boiling water, and take 300 ml. Pour into a glass, add hot water and stir until dissolved.

We do this with all the jellies, and moreover, we dilute each one in a separate container.

You can dilute it according to the instructions, but additionally add a tablespoon of gelatin to each glass. And only then pour boiling water over it.

You can take 3-4 types of jelly, with different colors and tastes. The store sells different things: strawberry, orange, kiwi, peach, banana, blueberry, raspberry and other flavors. We also dilute the yellow jelly in a glass or in a plate, whichever is convenient for you.

You can also make jelly for the cake from compote, but these in bags are tastier.

Then pour into molds or any containers. Can be placed in plastic containers. You can take a wide container so that the jelly covers 1.5-2 cm. Then it will be a thin layer.

When they have cooled to room temperature, place them in the refrigerator until completely set. This usually takes 4-6 hours.

There is no need to prepare sour cream or gelatin filling in advance. Proceed when the jelly has completely hardened. Pour gelatin, 25 grams, into a saucepan.

Pour in a glass of water and leave for 10 minutes for the crystals to swell.

Use regular drinking water, or filtered water at room temperature.

Melt in a water bath, stirring constantly, bring to a boil, but do not boil. Everything will melt and become like water, but not ordinary, but viscous.

You can take homemade or store-bought sour cream ranging from 10 to 30% fat content. Combine it with powdered sugar. Sugar may not dissolve. But if there is no powder, you can add sugar to taste. Beat with a whisk for 3-4 minutes.

You can replace sour cream with plain yogurt, or take yogurt with strawberry or any other flavor. Sometimes housewives experiment by adding milk or kefir instead of sour cream.

Then pour in the gelatin with water, but not hot, but let it cool a little. You don't need to cool it too much, otherwise it will just turn into jelly and harden. Pour in a thin stream, continue whisking and pouring until everything is poured out. Sour cream is ready.

We take out the frozen jelly, and to remove it, put it in hot water for 5 seconds.

So we lower each mold into water, turn it over, and cut it. Don't overdo it, otherwise everything will leak.

Turn the pan over onto a cutting board and cut into cubes. It is more convenient to do this with a sharp knife. So cut the yellow and red into cubes separately.

Try to stick to the same size when cutting cubes. You can stick to the dimensions 1.5 by 1.5 cm, or any others.

A muffin tin will work too. You can take a deep bowl. Lay out multi-colored cubes in layers with sour cream. You can pour a little sour cream on the bottom.

A few red, yellow and green cubes at the bottom of the mold, you don’t have to stick to order, you can be chaotic.

You can put marshmallows or jelly candies. Sometimes they add pieces of fruit. Many people like to add cookies or pieces of biscuit.

Then a layer of sour cream, then place the cubes again, and again a layer of sour cream and so on until the top. You can put pieces of fruit in a jelly cake with sour cream. Strawberry, kiwi, orange and others are suitable.

I advise you to cover the pan with cling film, especially if you have other food in the refrigerator, as is usually the case. And put it in the refrigerator until completely frozen. You can do it overnight, usually they leave it for 6-8 hours, but look at the condition.

Instead of sour cream, you can make a broken glass cake with yogurt; usually all proportions and procedure are the same.

Then take it out and immerse it in boiling water for 5 seconds so that the mold is well separated from the dessert.

Take a plate, turn the mold over and lift it up. Many housewives heat the mold with a hairdryer from all sides, but it is important not to overdo it, otherwise everything will flow and melt.

This is such a beautiful and bright dessert. Made many times, guests are always delighted, especially on the festive table, children like this dessert.

If you prepared it in advance, do not remove it from the mold; you will remove it before serving when guests arrive.

It looks very impressive and is not heavy in taste. Especially after a “magnificent” feast and an abundance of dishes. It is very tasty to enjoy a piece of cool dessert.

You can prepare jelly cake using broken glass in bowls or a glass. This will ensure that the sweet dessert is served individually for each guest. Jelly is served on the New Year's or holiday table with fruits and sweets at the end of the main meal.

With condensed milk

Condensed milk is inexpensive and turns any dessert into an incredibly tasty treat.

Ingredients

To prepare this recipe you need to prepare:

• 200 g cookies (shortbread is best);
• 300 ml cream (fat content not less than 33%);
• a can of condensed milk;
• 2 tbsp. frozen cherries (you can use any other berries, but they must be sufficiently sour);
• 40 g dark chocolate;
• 1 tbsp. l. gelatin.

Step-by-step cooking process

To prepare the cake:

1. First you need to break the cookies into fairly large pieces. It is also worth removing cherries and condensed milk from the refrigerator.

2. After this you need to prepare gelatin. To do this, it needs to be dissolved in 150 ml of water. If you want the cake to be a soft pink shade, then you can use not water, but the juice that formed after defrosting the berries. Some people use milk. In this case, the dessert, on the contrary, will be snow-white. Regardless of the liquid used, you need to wait until the gelatin dissolves. As a rule, this takes about 20 minutes.
3. While the jelly is infusing, you need to remove the seeds from the cherries and wait until the berries are completely defrosted.
4. The next step requires whipping the cream (it must be cold) so that its volume doubles.
5. Next, you need to pour the condensed milk into a deep container and pour the gelatin into it. First you need to heat it in a water bath. If the condensed milk begins to turn into jelly too quickly, then you need to put it in a water bath and slightly melt the resulting mass.
6. After this, you need to pour cookies into condensed milk with gelatin, add 2-3 tbsp. l. whipped cream and mix with a spatula. The remaining cream should also be added in portions, stirring everything carefully each time. The result will be a very airy mass.
7. At the next stage, you need to place cling film on the bottom of a round bowl and put part of the mass into it. After this, lay out a layer of cherries and add the jelly mass again. This can be repeated several times until the cherry runs out. A few berries should be left to decorate the cake.
8. Next, you need to turn the bowl over and place the cake on a plate.
9. The next step is to melt the chocolate. To do this, you also need to use a water bath so as not to bring the liquid to a boil. When the chocolate has melted, you need to pour it onto the cake. It can flow carelessly, creating the effect of smudges.

After this, all that remains is to put the cake in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. At the final stage, you can decorate the cake with nuts and fruits. If you store the dessert not in the refrigerator, but in the freezer, you will get an ice cream cake.

Useful tips and tricks

When making your own jelly, the following tips will be useful:

• If the cake will stand on the table for a long time before it is cut, you should not prepare jelly with gelatin. It melts too quickly. In this case, it is better to prepare jelly using agar-agar or purchase specialized confectionery jelly. It will keep its shape much longer.

• If you want the jelly to have clearly visible berries and fruits, then it is recommended to use a light type of jelly. You can also reduce the amount of water used to prepare gelatin. If you reduce the volume of water by a third, the finished mass will be more transparent. Also, to obtain transparent jelly, you should not use juices or other liquids with any pigment. If you add a little sugar to gelatin with water and then heat the mixture in a water bath, the mass will also become more transparent.
• You should not use small figures made from mastic to decorate jelly cakes. You also need to give up marzipan and protein creams. Such elements may leak.

A delicious jelly cake can be easily prepared without baking. This is a great summer light dessert. It is enough to dilute gelatin in the correct way and you can create the most unusual confectionery products.
