No-bake cake made from gingerbread and sour cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a no-bake cake from gingerbread and sour cream? Prepare your food. Any gingerbread will do, as long as they are fresh and soft. I have chocolate ones. Take the fattest, thickest sour cream. You can even weigh it out in gauze overnight - the excess whey will drain and the sour cream will become very thick and stable. I prepared an incomplete portion.

2. STEP 2

   

   Start cooking by cutting the gingerbread cookies. Cut standard ones in half, small or flat ones can be left whole.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the banana into circles 0.7-1 cm thick. Instead of bananas, you can take other fruits or berries - pineapple, kiwi, orange, strawberry, peach, nectarine, apricot.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place sour cream in a bowl. It's better if it's chilled. Add powdered sugar to the sour cream. Use powder because, unlike sugar, it will dissolve in cold sour cream faster. Mix sour cream with powder using a regular whisk. I do not recommend using a mixer - whipping the sour cream will become thinner. A whisk will do a great job of stirring, and the sour cream will remain thick.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a flat dish. Dip each piece of gingerbread into sour cream and place them in a single layer on a plate. I tried to put the bottom, non-round part of the gingerbread down.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place banana slices on top of the gingerbread layer.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then repeat the layers - gingerbread with sour cream, bananas. The number of layers will depend on the number of gingerbread cookies and the size of the dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the top layer of round tops of gingerbread cookies, forming a mound. Coat the cake well with the remaining cream.

9. STEP 9

   

   For the glaze, melt the chocolate in any way - in a water bath or in the microwave. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cake. I used a pastry bag. Place the cake in the refrigerator to soak for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight - the gingerbread cookies should be well soaked.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve the cake to the table. It cuts perfectly into pieces and holds its shape. Bon appetit!

I saw a recipe for a no-bake cake made from gingerbread and sour cream and decided to make it. The whole family supported the idea. They took all the necessary products. I cut bananas and gingerbread. I changed the process of assembling the cake to suit myself. I took a glass pan and lined it with cling film. I laid out the top layer of the cake first, so I took the top parts of the gingerbread, dipped them in the cream and laid them tightly. I coated the uncoated parts of the sliced ​​bananas with cream and repeated this several times. I ended up with four layers of gingerbread. I laid out the final row with the bottom of the gingerbread cookies and spread all the remaining cream on top. Covered with a layer of cling film and pressed down lightly. I put it in the refrigerator overnight. I used three bananas and 700 grams of gingerbread to make the cake. I used the amount suggested in the recipe for the cream. In the morning I removed the cling film. I turned the cake over onto a plate and removed the remaining cling film. I decorated the cake with chocolate chips. The cake held its shape perfectly. The cream soaked the gingerbread perfectly. When cut, it was soft, as if it were a biscuit. The whole family was delighted! Thank you very much to the author for such a wonderful recipe!

I admit, I was pleasantly surprised! I had about 1.5 packs of gingerbread left over, so I decided to try this recipe. Gingerbread, by the way, is one of the cheapest. There were no bananas. And with sour cream I mixed strawberries, grated with sugar, prepared in the summer. I cut the gingerbread into 3 pieces, rolled each piece in sour cream and strawberries, put it in a mold, and a little later sprinkled roasted peanuts on top. When I served it in the evening, I admit, I was very worried. But surprisingly, EVERYONE really liked it, everyone ate not a single piece. When they found out what this miracle cake was made of, everyone was extremely surprised))) Thanks to the author for this idea of ​​​​a very easy-to-prepare, budget-friendly, and most importantly delicious cake! I'm sure it's delicious with banana, next time I'll make it with banana.
