Cake made of cookies and sour cream without baking

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a simple cake from cookies and sour cream without baking? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. We will need two types of cookies - ordinary shortbread, sugar or biscuit (whichever you like), preferably in the form of squares. And gingerbread cookies like New Year's gingerbread or ordinary gingerbread or milk gingerbread without filling. It is important that the cookies are made from gingerbread dough, and it will be store-bought or homemade, decide for yourself.

2. Step 2:

   

   Combine thick sour cream with a fat content of 20-25% with sugar and mix. Set aside about 3 tablespoons of cream for cake decoration. You can add a little less sugar, according to your taste.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the gingerbread cookies in the bowl of a blender and grind into fine crumbs. Set aside some of the crumbs for sprinkling the top and sides of the cake.

   Pour the crushed gingerbread cookies into the sour cream and sugar mass and mix. You should get a sufficiently viscous mass.

   Line a square baking dish with cling film. Put the shortbread cookies on the bottom in one layer. Depending on the diameter of your shape, the cake will turn out to be small and high, or on the contrary, flatter, but larger in area. Ideally, the mold should fit 9 whole square cookies. I have a slightly smaller shape, so I had to cut the cookies.
