No-Bake Cookie Cake with Cottage Cheese Cream
A wholesome, delicious cottage cheese treat! Easy to make! This no-bake cookie cake with cottage cheese cream is a real lifesaver for a quick homemade dessert. Since the dish isn't cooked, the quality and freshness of the cottage cheese and sour cream matter most of all. And because it's mainly a dish for children, be sure to keep that in mind.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
To make this homemade cottage cheese cake without gelatin, you'll need shortbread cookies, sour cream of any fat content, cottage cheese that isn't dry, and granulated sugar. It's best to use plain cookies with no flavorings, in a rectangular or square shape. I personally love using a plain shortbread cookie like "Jubilee Bouquet" or similar for desserts like this.

Step 2:
Choose a soft, moist, perfectly fresh, natural cottage cheese. Mash it with a fork, then add the sour cream and granulated sugar. You can add a little vanilla sugar too. Mix all the ingredients for the cheese filling thoroughly.
-
Step 3:
Put a little of the cheese cream on a flat plate and smooth it out. This keeps the cookies from sliding around on the plate as you assemble the cake. Lay the first layer of cookies on top.
-
Step 4:
Then alternate layers of cheese cream and cookies to build a cake. The top layer should be cheese cream.
-
Step 5:
Spread the rest of the cheese filling in a thin layer over the sides, filling in any gaps. A silicone spatula makes this easy. Along with the cheese filling, you can add rinsed raisins, chopped prunes, dried fruit, candied fruit, or chopped soft nuts if you like. Refrigerate the gelatin-free cheese cake overnight so it can soak.

Step 6:
The dry, crisp shortbread cookies will soak up moisture from the sour cream and cottage cheese and turn soft. The cheese filling between the layers will firm up and set like a real cream. At that point the cake will slice easily into portions. Don't keep the cake longer than a day or two. So when you make it, plan for an amount that will be eaten the next day, or two days at most.
