How to prepare yogurt and strawberry jelly cake
To prepare this delicious cake, you will need:
Ingredients
- 1 package of Digestive or Maria biscuits
- A little butter (about 50g)
- 250 g whipping cream
- 2 strawberry yogurts
- 300 g fresh strawberries
- 5 sheets of gelatin
- 140 g sugar
Preparation
1. Prepare the base
- Crush the cookies: Place the cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or use a food processor until you get a fine powder.
- Mix with the butter: Melt the butter and mix it into the crushed cookies. There should be a wet mixture that holds together when pressed.
- Form the base: In a springform pan or in individual ramekins, distribute the cookie mixture by pressing it firmly into the bottom to form an even base. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the yogurt filling
- Hydrate the gelatin: In a small bowl, place the gelatin sheets in cold water and let them sit for about 10 minutes until softened.
- Heat the gelatine: Drain the gelatin sheets and place them in a saucepan over a very low heat along with 50 ml of water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, whip the cream until whipped. It should form soft peaks.
- Mix with the yogurts: Add the strawberry yogurts and sugar to the whipped cream. Mix gently with a spatula to prevent the cream from fading.
- Stir in the gelatin: Allow the gelatin to cool slightly before adding it to the yogurt mixture. Stir well so that it is completely integrated.
3. Assemble the cake
- Pour the mixture: Remove the mold from the refrigerator and pour the yogurt mixture over the cookie base. Smooth the surface with a putty knife.
- Refrigerate: Let the tart cool in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until well set.
4. Prepare the strawberry jelly
- Make the strawberry puree: Mash the strawberries into a puree. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a little sugar to taste.
- Hydrate and dissolve the gelatin: Repeat the process of moisturizing and dissolving the gelatin with the strawberry puree, just as you did before.
- Pour over the tart: Once the yogurt tart is set, carefully pour the strawberry puree with gelatin over the surface.
- Refrigerate again: Return the tart to the fridge and let it set for at least 2 more hours.
5. Serve
Unmold the tart carefully and, if desired, decorate with additional fresh strawberries on top. And that’s it! Now you can enjoy a delicious yogurt and strawberry jelly cake that is sure to impress your guests and delight your family.
Councils
Here are four tips for making a delicious strawberry jelly yogurt tart:
- Make sure the gelatin is well dissolved: When dissolving the gelatin, make sure that there are no lumps. This will ensure a smooth texture in the tart. If necessary, you can strain the mixture before pouring it.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries: The quality of the strawberries influences the final flavor of the pie. Opt for fresh, well-ripe strawberries for the best flavor and color.
- Refrigerate properly: It is essential to let each layer of the cake set in the fridge long enough. This ensures that the layers don’t blend together and that the cake holds its shape when you cut it.
- Garnish in advance: If you decide to add strawberries or some other decoration, do it just before serving. This will keep the fruits fresh and improve the presentation of the cake.
