With the help of Green Sugar sweetener, you’ll create a healthier dessert that is just as delicious. Moreover, this cake is a true feast of flavors and textures, ideal for moments spent with loved ones. Recipe History No-bake desserts have gained popularity worldwide, especially due to their ease of preparation and versatility. The combination of fluffy creams with fresh fruits or compotes has become a tradition in many cultures. This vanilla cream cake with cherries and berry cream is a modern reinterpretation of these delights, elevating them to a new level of refinement and taste. Ingredients For the crust: - 200 g plain biscuits - 50 g butter - 8 tablespoons milk - 1 tablespoon Green Sugar sweetener For the vanilla cream: - 200 ml heavy cream - 200 g cream cheese - 100 g white chocolate - 2 tablespoons Green Sugar sweetener - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Zest of 1 lemon - 1 sheet of gelatin - 1/2 cup pitted cherries For the berry cream: - 1/2 of the prepared vanilla cream - 2 sheets of gelatin - 200 g berries (fresh or frozen) - 1 tablespoon Green Sugar sweetener - Biscuits for the base Preparation Steps 1. Preparing the crust Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, let it cool slightly. In a food processor, add the plain biscuits and blend them until you get a fine powder. In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter, milk, and Green Sugar sweetener. Mix well until the mixture is moist and easily moldable. Tip: Make sure the butter is at room temperature to avoid lumps. 2. Preparing the vanilla cream Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, being careful not to burn it. Let it cool slightly. In a bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and whip it gently for a few seconds. Add the cream cheese, Green Sugar sweetener, melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until you achieve a fluffy and smooth cream. Frequently asked question: Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate? Absolutely! Dark chocolate will give the dessert a more intense flavor. Soak the sheet of gelatin in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Once hydrated, drain it well and melt it over a double boiler. Divide the vanilla cream into two equal portions. In one portion, incorporate the melted gelatin, mixing well. 3. Preparing the berry cream In a blender, add the berries along with the Green Sugar sweetener and blend until you achieve a puree. In the other half of the vanilla cream (without gelatin), add the berry puree. Soak the two sheets of gelatin in cold water, then drain and melt them in a double boiler. Incorporate the melted gelatin into the berry cream. 4. Assembling the cake Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing the excess wrap to hang over the edges. Press the biscuit crust into the bottom of the pan, ensuring to cover the sides as well. Smooth the mixture with a spatula. Add the vanilla cream on top of the crust and level it. Place the pitted cherries into the vanilla cream. Then, pour the berry cream over it, leveling it carefully. 5. Finalizing and cooling On top of the berry cream, place the biscuits, which you can lightly soak with apricot compote juice for extra flavor (optional). Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours or until it sets well. Serving Once the cake has cooled sufficiently, remove it from the refrigerator and peel off the wrap. Invert the cake onto a serving platter and cut it into portions. This cake can be served plain or with a berry sauce on top for an added touch of elegance. Personal note: A great idea is to add a few fresh mint leaves on top for an elegant look and a refreshing aroma. Nutritional Benefits This cake is lower in calories due to the use of Green Sugar sweetener, while the berries provide a high intake of antioxidants and vitamins. The heavy cream and cream cheese offer protein and calcium, making it a dessert that can complement a healthy lifestyle. Delicious Pairings To complement this cake, I recommend serving it with a cup of green tea or a sweet white wine. Additionally, a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside would make this dessert a truly memorable experience. Possible Variations If you want to experiment, you can replace the cherries with other fruits like mango or peaches, and instead of berries, you can use pineapple or kiwi for a tropical twist. You can also add chopped nuts to the biscuit crust for a crunchy texture. Conclusion This vanilla cream cake with cherries and berry cream is not only a delicious dessert but also an excellent way to bring friends and family together around the table. It’s simple to make, visually appealing, and will surely impress anyone who tastes it. Enjoy!
