Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 2 hours and 30 minutes (including cooling time)
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:
- 2 large seedless Kis-Mis grapes
- 300 g soft biscuits
- 150 g margarine
- 200 g sour cream
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 200 g fresh cottage cheese
- 1 packet of gelatin
- 2 packets of jelly cake mix (or fruit gel)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 100 ml water

Step 1: Preparing the biscuit base
Start by grinding the biscuits in a food processor or by using a classic method, placing them in a bag and rolling them with a rolling pin. Make sure to achieve a fine powder without large chunks. In a bowl, melt the margarine in a double boiler or microwave, being careful not to let it boil.

Add the ground biscuits to the melted margarine and mix well until everything is homogeneous.

Step 2: Forming the base
Spread the biscuit mixture evenly in a detachable ring pan, pressing down firmly to form a solid base. You can use the bottom of a glass to press it evenly. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 3: Preparing the grape compote
Wash the Kis-Mis grapes well and place them in a pot. Add one cup of sugar and 100 ml of water, then boil over medium heat for about 10 minutes from the first boil. The grapes should become soft, and the juice should be released. After obtaining a compote, strain the grapes from the juice and let them cool.

Step 4: Preparing the cream cheese
In another bowl, mix the sour cream with the powdered sugar until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Add the fresh cottage cheese and continue mixing until everything becomes creamy.

Hydrate the gelatin in 100 ml of cold water for 5-10 minutes, then melt it in a double boiler. Pour the melted gelatin into the cream cheese and gently mix to incorporate it.

Step 5: Assembling the cake
Remove the base from the refrigerator and pour the cream cheese over it, spreading it evenly. Add a layer of cooled grapes on top of the cream and place the cake back in the refrigerator for an hour.

Step 6: Preparing the grape jelly
After the cake has cooled, prepare the jelly according to the instructions on the packet, using the grape juice you obtained earlier. Pour the jelly over the grapes on the cake and let it cool again, preferably for 2 hours, but ideally, let it rest overnight.

Tips and useful advice:
1. Fresh grapes: Choose well-ripened Kis-Mis grapes to ensure the cake has a sweet and flavorful taste.
2. Gelatin: You can replace gelatin with agar-agar for a vegetarian option.
3. Variations: Instead of cottage cheese, you can use mascarpone or ricotta for a creamier texture.
4. Serving: Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious contrast.

Nutritional benefits:
This Kis-Mis cake is a good source of calcium due to the cottage cheese and sour cream. Grapes are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, having a high water content, which helps with hydration.
