Cold Yogurt Cake

The cold yogurt cake is a fresh and delicious dessert, perfect for warm days or for those looking for a lighter sweet alternative. Here is a basic recipe you can follow:

Ingredients

• 250g of dry biscuits (like Digestive)
• 100g of melted butter
• 500g of Greek yogurt
• 100g of powdered sugar
• 12g of sheet gelatin (or agar agar if you prefer a vegetarian option)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh fruit or fruit coulis for decoration (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by crushing the dry biscuits until you get a coarse flour. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter.
2. Pour the mixture of biscuits and butter at the bottom of a springform pan and press it down well to form a compact base. Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden.
3. Meanwhile, soak the gelatin in cold water to soften it.
4. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the powdered sugar and add the lemon juice.
5. Heat a little water in a saucepan and dissolve the squeezed gelatin, then add it to the yogurt mixture and stir well until you get a smooth mixture.
6. Pour the mixture over the now-solidified biscuit base and level it with a spatula.
7. Place the cake in the fridge and let it cool for at least 4 hours, or until it is well set.
8. Before serving, decorate the cake with fresh fruit or a fruit coulis of your choice.
