Recipe Story

The cookie cake with white chocolate and strawberry jam is inspired by the tradition of no-bake desserts, which have gained popularity due to their simplicity and delicious taste. This type of cake is perfect for those who want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. The cookies, which provide a crispy base, combine perfectly with the smooth cream and jam, creating a contrast of textures.

Step by step

Step 1: Preparing the base

1. Start by crushing the cookies. You can use a food processor, but if you don't have one, place them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Make sure the cookies are finely crushed for an even texture.

2. In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the chopped walnuts, melted butter, and melted white chocolate. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

3. Pour the mixture into the cake pan (with a diameter of 24 cm) lined with baking paper and press it down well with a spoon to create an even base. Place in the fridge to firm up (about 30 minutes).

Step 2: Preparing the cream

1. In another bowl, mix the whipping cream with the vanilla sugar and cottage cheese until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.

2. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5-10 minutes, then melt it in a double boiler. Add the melted gelatin in a thin stream to the cheese mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

3. Add the strawberry jam and mix well. This will give a delicious taste and fresh aroma to your cream.

Step 3: Assembling the cake

1. Take the base out of the fridge and pour half of the cream over it. Place the 2 sandwich cookies on top, pressing them down slightly to secure.

2. Pour the remaining cheese mixture over the cookies and smooth it out with a spatula.

3. Put the cake back in the fridge for a few hours, or ideally overnight, to firm up well.

Step 4: Decorating the cake

1. Before serving, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool slightly. Pour the warm chocolate over the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

2. Decorate with halved fresh strawberries for an attractive look and extra flavor.

3. Leave the cake in the fridge for another 30 minutes before slicing.

Useful tips

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start preparing. This will help achieve a smoother cream.
