Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To make a delicious banana cake without baking, you will need cookies – a sweet cracker is best, but any shortbread, oatmeal, square cookies with the aroma of melted milk, sugar, the main thing is that it is airy and fragile. Measure the required number of products according to the list.
Step 2:
Dissolve the gelatin according to the instructions on the package. I dissolved it in a cup in boiling water. I took 120 ml of boiling water for 25 g of instant gelatin. If you do not have instant gelatin, read the instructions on the package on how to properly dilute it.
Step 3:
While the gelatin is filled with water, break the cookies into small pieces.
Step 4:
Wash bananas, dry with paper towels, peel and cut into small pieces. Immediately prepare a detachable round cake mold (18-20 cm in diameter). Cover it with cling film so that the cream does not leak.
Step 5:
Combine sour cream (20-30% fat content) with sugar (or sweetener according to the instructions), add vanilla on the tip of a knife or vanilla sugar (about 1 tablespoon). Be careful with the amount of vanillin, because if you overdo it, it will give bitterness. Beat the sour cream with a mixer for about 1 minute, until the sugar crystals dissolve. Sour cream can be replaced with mascarpone cheese. Then the taste of dessert will resemble tiramisu.
Step 6:
Pour a thin stream of dissolved gelatin into the sour cream mixture without stopping the whipping process.
Step 7:
Beat sour cream with gelatin with a mixer for about another minute, you don't need a long time, since the mass will harden quickly.
Step 8:
Put the pieces of cookies and bananas in the sour cream, mix quickly with a spatula or spoon.
Step 9:
Immediately put the mixture into the prepared cake pan.
Step 10:
Smooth the surface with a cooking silicone spatula or spoon.
Step 11:
Cover the mold with a flat plate or tighten with cling film and put the cake in the refrigerator to solidify.
Step 12:
The cake will harden well in the refrigerator for an hour, but you can leave it overnight so that it grabs even better.
Step 13:
Remove the frozen cake from the refrigerator and carefully release it from the detachable mold.
Step 14:
Put the cake on a flat dish, it holds its shape perfectly.
Step 15:
Remove the plastic wrap from the cake.
Step 16:
Take high-quality chocolate for decoration, with a high percentage of cocoa, the taste of the delicacy will depend on it. Grate it on a fine grater. You can decorate the dessert in another way. For example, sprinkle it on top with lightly toasted walnuts in a dry frying pan, and then chopped with a knife or in a blender. Optionally, you can sprinkle cocoa powder, coconut chips, cookie crumbs, confectionery sprinkles.
Step 17:
The final touch – sprinkle a cake of cookies, sour cream and bananas with grated chocolate and serve with tea or coffee.
Step 18:
This is how a cake looks without baking in a section. The cookies become soft and the cake is perfectly cut without losing its shape.
Instead of a banana, you can use any fruits and berries, for example, kiwi, fresh or dried pitted cherries, raspberries, oranges, fresh or canned peaches. Or add bitter chocolate broken into small pieces.
If you use non-instant gelatin, be sure to read the instructions before use.
Fill gelatin with quality filtered or bottled water. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the cake an unpleasant characteristic taste.
