NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY CAKE

INGREDIENTS

For Base:
2 cups finely crushed digestive biscuits or oreo biscuits
3 tbsp melted butter

For second layer :
2 cups HUNG CURD
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1 cup condensed milk
15-18 strawberries or 1 cup strawberry crush
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 water
2 tbsp gelatin

For Glaze:
2 tsp gelatin
4 tbsp water
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup strawberry puree


 


METHOD
BEFORE STARTING THE PROCESS CHILL BOWL IN WHICH YOU ARE GOING TO WHIP CREAM IN FREEZER FOR 5-10 MINUTES. BY THAT TIME MAKE THE BASE.

For Base:
Grind biscuits to make fine powder add melted butter and grind again . Take round spring form pan and set the base using hands all over evenly. Keep in fridge till we prepare the second layer.

For Second layer:

Sprinkle gelatin in 1/2 water and keep aside for blooming for 5-10 minutes.

Chop strawberries and put in heavy bottomed pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, add sugar and mix well. Cook on low flame and keep mashing at regular intervals. Cook till it become paste. Keep aside. Let it cool down.

Now take chilled bowl and chilled whip cream. Whisk the cream till fluffy.

In other bowl, beat hung curd add condensed milk and beat again to make smooth batter. Add whipped cream in it. Now add cool strawberry sauce. Mix well.

Microwave dissolved gelatin for 30 seconds. Mix well. Let it come down to room temperature and mix in above batter.

Take out the base from fridge and pout the batter over it. Keep in fridge to set for at least 4-5 hours or overnight.

For Glaze:
Puree 10-12 strawberries in blender with 1 tbsp sugar. Sprinkle gelatin in 4 tbsp water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes. Warm it in microwave for 30 seconds or in pan till gelatin dissolve completely. Let it come down to room temperate.

Add cooled gelatin in strawberry puree. Mix well.

Take heart shaped or any other mold , fill it from inside. Garnish with strawberries.

Let it set for 2-3 hours and serve.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOLDS YOU CAN SPREAD THE GLAZE ALL OVER SET LAYER AND KEEP IN FRIDGE FOR 3-4 HOURS.

FOLLOW THE STEPS OF GELATIN CAREFULLY OR CAKE WON'T SET PROPERLY. 

YOU CAN SUBSTITUE FRESH STRAWBERRIES WITH STRAWBERRY CRUSH. IN SUCH CASE DON'T COOK CRUSH SIMPLY ADD SUGAR AND BLEND.

I PREFER THE TASTE AND TEXTURE OF COOKED STRAWBERRY.  BUT, IF YOU ARE RUNNING SHORT OF TIME YOU CAN PUREE STAWBERRY WITH SUGAR INSTEAD OF COOKING.
