History of the recipe

This recipe, inspired by the tradition of cheese desserts, has evolved over time, borrowing flavors and ingredients from various cultures.

Step by step for a perfect result

1. Preparing the base
Start by crushing the ladyfingers. You can use a food processor or put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Add the soft butter and honey, mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Make sure the ladyfingers are well incorporated into the butter, so the base is compact.

2. Forming the base
Spread the ladyfinger mixture evenly in the removable ring mold. Use a spoon or spatula to press the mixture well, ensuring it is compact and evenly distributed. Place a few cookies around the edge of the mold for an attractive look. Chill the mold for about 30 minutes.

3. Preparing the cream
In a large bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Gradually add the cherry syrup, continuing to mix to achieve an airy texture. Separately, mix the cottage cheese with the sour cream until it becomes a smooth cream. Fold this cream into the whipped cream using a spatula to maintain the airiness.

4. Hydrating the gelatin
In a small bowl, hydrate the gelatin in 100 ml of cold water according to the instructions on the package. After a few minutes, melt the gelatin in a bain-marie, stirring constantly until it becomes liquid. Let it cool slightly, then pour it into the whipped cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

5. Assembling the cake
Pour the obtained cream over the ladyfinger base in the chilled mold. Place the cherries (you can use both fresh cherries and canned ones) both inside the cream and on top for a visually appealing look. Refrigerate the cake for another 1-2 hours until the cream has set.

6. Preparing the jelly
In a container, dissolve the two packets of gelle tort gelatin in 300 ml of cherry syrup. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it reaches the boiling point. Let it cool slightly, then carefully pour the jelly over the set cream, ensuring the cherries remain on top. Return the cake to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.

Chef's tip
If you don't have cherries on hand, you can use other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or berries. You can also add flavors like vanilla or lemon zest to the cheese cream for an extra taste.

Serving and combinations
This cake is perfect to be served as is, but you can accompany it with a vanilla sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a temperature contrast. Additionally, a cup of fruit tea or a glass of champagne will perfectly complement this refined dessert.

Nutritional benefits
This no-bake cake, while delicious, is also quite balanced. Cherries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, while cottage cheese provides essential proteins. Of course, it is important to consume desserts in moderation, but this dish can add a touch of joy to a tiring day.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use another type of cookies?
Of course! Digestive cookies or cocoa cookies can add an interesting flavor.

2. How can I make the cake healthier?
You can replace the butter with coconut oil or almond butter. Also, use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener.

3. How long can the cake be stored?
It can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but it is best consumed within the first 48 hours.
