Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooling time: 3-4 hours Number of servings: 14 Necessary ingredients: - Approximately 14 pieces of "Ladyfinger" cookies - 100 g digestive biscuits - 50 g melted butter - 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur or almond essence - 400 ml whipping cream - 1 pack of fluffy cream cheese (from Delaco) - 3 tablespoons brown sugar - 3 tablespoons powdered sugar - 500 g cherries (pitted) - 100 ml cold water - 8 pieces of marshmallow - 1 ½ tablespoons gelatin granules For decoration: - 80 g dark chocolate - 50 ml milk - Fresh and candied cherries - Chocolate candies - Chocolate shavings - Chocolate sticks Steps to prepare the cake: 1. Preparing the tray: Start by lining a loaf pan with plastic wrap. This will make it easier to remove the cake once it sets. 2. Biscuit base: In a bowl, crumble the digestive biscuits and add the melted butter and Amaretto liqueur (or almond essence). Mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture. This will form the base of your cake. 3. Forming the base: Place the "Ladyfinger" cookies at the bottom of the lined tray. Pour the biscuit mixture over the cookies and gently press to create an even layer. This will provide a crunchy texture that contrasts perfectly with the whipped cream. 4. Preparing the cherry jelly: In another bowl, combine the cherries with the brown sugar and set aside for about 30 minutes until they start to soften and release their juice. Then, place the cherries on the stove, adding 50-100 ml of water. Boil for a maximum of 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 5. Adding the marshmallow: Cut the marshmallows into quarters and add them to the warm cherry mixture. Stir until the marshmallows melt and are perfectly incorporated into the cherry mixture. 6. Hydrating the gelatin: In another container, hydrate the gelatin in 100 ml of cold water. After a few minutes, add the hydrated gelatin to the warm cherry mixture. Mix well to ensure the gelatin completely dissolves. Stop when the mixture becomes homogeneous and let it cool completely until it starts to thicken. 7. Preparing the whipped cream: In another bowl, whip the cream with the powdered sugar until you achieve a firm consistency. Add the fluffy cream cheese and continue to whip until the ingredients are fully incorporated. 8. Assembling the cake: Pour the whipped cream over the biscuit layer in the tray. Add a few ripe cherries directly into the cream, and you can dip the remaining cookies in the cooled cherry syrup and place them on top of the cream. Gently press with your finger to secure them. 9. Finalizing: Pour the cooled and slightly set cherry mixture over the biscuit and whipped cream layer. Cover the cake with the edges of the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours to set. 10. Decorating: Once the cake has set, carefully remove it from the tray, remove the plastic wrap, and place it on a platter. For decoration, melt the dark chocolate with the milk in a bain-marie and pour it over the cake. Add fresh cherries, candied cherries, chocolate shavings, and chocolate sticks for a special look. Practical tips: - Use fresh cherries for a more intense flavor, but feel free to try other seasonal fruits like raspberries or peaches to diversify the recipe. - Gelatin can be replaced with agar-agar for a vegetarian version of the cake. - If you want an even fresher note, add a little chopped fresh mint to the cream. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use another type of liqueur? Yes, almond liqueur can be replaced with another preferred one, such as orange or vanilla liqueur. 2. How can I keep the cake longer? Keep the cake covered in the refrigerator, where it can last up to 3 days. 3. Can it be made with other fruits? Absolutely! This recipe is versatile, and other fruits like strawberries or blueberries can be successfully used. Calories and nutritional benefits: This cake has a moderate calorie content due to ingredients like whipping cream and sugar. Cherries add a healthy dose of antioxidants and vitamin C, while gelatin is beneficial for skin and joint health. However, moderate consumption is essential, especially for those who are following a healthy lifestyle. This cherry jelly and whipped cream cake is not just a dessert but a culinary experience that will delight you. So, invite your friends to a summer meal and enjoy every delicious bite together!
