Why is this no-bake cake so popular?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No-bake desserts are popular in the Czech Republic mainly because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they don’t require an oven,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they are quick and reliable,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
they are easy to prepare even with children,
and they always turn out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, layered desserts made from sponge cakes and cream hold their shape beautifully, are cut into regular portions and look very impressive on any table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients
For the cake:
40 sponge cakes (classic or cocoa)
500 g soft cottage cheese (well drained)
375 ml whipping cream
80 g vanilla (or chocolate) custard powder
80 ml milk (for mixing the custard)
200 g sugar
180 ml milk (for dipping the sponge cakes)
For the chocolate icing:
150 g dark chocolate
150 ml whipping cream
For decoration:
100 g grated white chocolate
Step-by-step preparation process
Mix the cottage cheese with the sugar until a smooth cream is formed. In another bowl, beat the cream with the custard powder and 80 ml milk until the mixture is thick and fluffy. Gently combine both ingredients into one cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepare a rectangular mold. Dip the sponge cakes briefly in the milk and arrange the first layer on the bottom. Spread half of the cream, level and place the second layer of sponge cakes. Add the rest of the cream and cover with the last layer of sponge cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat the cream for the frosting (do not boil), add the broken chocolate and stir until it is completely melted and a shiny smooth frosting is formed. Pour it over the entire surface of the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle with grated white chocolate and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, so that the sponge cakes soften beautifully and the flavors combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to serve the dessert
After cooling, the cake is cut into neat squares. The cream is delicate, the sponge cakes are supple and the chocolate frosting gives the dessert a festive look. It is ideal for summer, family celebrations and as a sweet spot after lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips for variations
You can add vanilla extract or lemon zest to the cream. For a milder taste, you can replace the cottage cheese with mascarpone. You can achieve an interesting contrast by alternating light and cocoa sponge cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
