How to make a no-bake cake with coffee
Very important! If the gelatin has frozen or cooled down, put it on low heat and heat it until hot (do not boil) and only then add it. Each manufacturer indicates on the packaging the amount of liquid in which it should be dissolved. Usually it is 400ml or 800ml. In my case, 400 ml, but 25 g was enough for me to set the cake.
Making the base
We crumble with our hands shortbread, at least into 3-4 parts, this will be enough for chopping with a blender. But if you use a cookie masher, you'll want to break as little as possible.
Using a blender, grind the shortbread cookies until the base is homogeneous. 
Melt the butter until liquid state. Add it to the crumbs and stir so that it is evenly distributed. The mass will be a little wet. Some do not add oil at all, but then the dessert may crumble when cutting.
To make a curd cake without baking, we will need a springform pan with sides, mine is 22 cm in diameter. Take the crumbs and pour them into the pan, compacting it evenly with your hand. We put it in the refrigerator.
Prepare 3 curd layers
Then let's make the curd (white) layer. Put some 300g cottage cheese, add milk, sugar, vanillin. Take an immersion blender and beat all the ingredients in homogeneous mass. It is very important that the cottage cheese should be fatty, fresh, moist and not sour. I bought farm cottage cheese, it is a little different from homemade cottage cheese, its texture is more delicate. The mixture will be liquid, similar to milkshake, just a little thicker. Let's set aside the white layer and move on to the others.
Let's start preparing the coffee layer. Pour into a glass instant coffee and pour boiling water over it, stir, no need to add sugar. IN deep container add the rest of the cottage cheese, add sugar and brewed coffee.
Using an immersion blender, beat into a creamy mixture; it will taste like a delicate creme brulee, without lumps. As you beat, you will get some air bubbles.
Now let's make the chocolate-coffee layer. Pour instant coffee into a glass and pour boiling water over it, add sugar and stir. We put it right away cocoa powder and stir quickly with a spoon so that there are no lumps left.
Since we are preparing a no-bake curd cake with gelatin and all the ingredients for the coffee cake are ready, we can move on to the next one. Pour the gelatin, preferably into a saucepan, to protect yourself. Now put the kettle on the fire and wait until it boils; as soon as it boils, pour boiling water into a glass and pour boiling water over it, immediately stir with a spoon until completely dissolved. It is important! Add gelatin only when hot, otherwise it will not dissolve and will end up in chunks in the dessert. You can't boil it!
Take the curd (white) mixture and add 10 tablespoons of gelatin to it, adding each spoon, immediately stir with a whisk.
We take out the cooled mold with the base and pour in the milk mass, put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until it hardens. If you are in a hurry, you can put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Check whether the first milk layer has frozen and only then start adding gelatin. Take the coffee-curd mixture and add 5 tablespoons of hot gelatin to it, stir immediately with a whisk. You can beat the mixture for 3-5 minutes to make it more fluffy. If the gelatin has cooled down during this time, you can heat it over low heat until warm.
Pour in the coffee mixture and place in the refrigerator or freezer for 30-40 minutes until completely set.
Now pour the remaining hot gelatin into the chocolate-coffee mixture that we made in the cup. Mix and fill it with the last layer. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
We take the cottage cheese coffee cake out of the refrigerator, heat the knife and quickly trim the edges, remove the mold. Heat the knife again and cut off the perfect piece.
How to decorate a cake
Before serving, you can sprinkle the dessert with grated chocolate or decorate with store-bought cookies or candies. Pieces of fresh fruit or berries will also look very beautiful.

If there is not enough liquid, add a little more hot water into the bowl. Pour instant coffee without grounds into one third of the mixture and mix thoroughly.
Grind the cookies almost into crumbs and pour them into a mold with sides. If you want the base to be dense, then mix the cookie crumbs with additional butter. I like the base to crumble, so I don’t add oil!
Pour the white curd mixture onto the crumbs and smooth with a spatula.
Pour the coffee mixture onto the white mass - you don’t even have to level it, since it turns out to be more liquid than the first one and spreads itself. Place the mold with the preparation in the refrigerator for 1.5 hours or freezer for 30-40 minutes.

How to make curd cake with gelatin and fruit
To prepare a soufflé cheesecake you will need a large deep form, this can be Silicone molds for cupcakes or, as in my case, a regular plastic cake box (which is very convenient if you need to transport the cake).
Preparing a fruit cake is divided into 4 stages.
Stage 1 – preparing the orange layer
Dilute orange-flavored jelly as indicated on the package: pour the contents of the bag with 200 ml of hot water, but not boiling, and stir until the grains are completely dissolved. 
Cut the orange into thin wheels and carefully cut off the skin with a sharp knife. 
Cut the circles in half and place them in a circle on the bottom of the inverted pan. 
Pour the prepared jelly over the orange slices. 
Place the mold in the refrigerator.
Before moving on to the next step, pour the gelatin into a mug or glass and pour in 100 ml of water, stir and leave to swell. 
Stage 2 – preparing fruits
Wash all the fruits included in the cake thoroughly and allow to dry.
Peel the kiwi, cut in half lengthwise, then each half in half again, then cut into transverse pieces. 
Place kiwi pieces in a small saucepan, add 3 tbsp. l. granulated sugar and add the juice of half a lemon. 
Stir and heat over low heat. The kiwi should release its juice and the sugar should dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool. 
Peel the bananas, cut into wheels of arbitrary thickness and sprinkle with lemon juice. 
WITH canned pineapples Drain the liquid, peel the remaining orange, and finely chop the pulp.
Stage 3 – preparing the curd mixture with gelatin
Place cottage cheese, sour cream, remaining granulated sugar and vanilla sugar.
Choose the fat content of dairy products at your discretion. 
Using an immersion blender, thoroughly mix all ingredients. 
Place the swollen gelatin into a ladle, add 70 ml of water and heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved - the liquid becomes clear. 
Teaser network
Pour the gelatin into the pan with the curd mixture and mix again using a blender. The mixture will be quite liquid, don’t be alarmed, this is normal. 
Place all prepared fruits into the curd mixture. 
Mix gently, distributing the fruit evenly throughout.
Stage 4 – cake formation
Remove the mold with the frozen orange layer from the refrigerator and pour the curd mixture with fruit into it. 
The final ones sand layer Not required, but I highly recommend it. We are preparing the cake without baking, the shortbread cookies will be at the bottom and will harmonize with the jelly part of the cake.
Break up the cookies, place in a blender bowl with blades and grind the cookies into crumbs. 
Carefully pour the cookies into the pan on top curd mass and level it with a silicone spatula, pressing it slightly. 
For better grip sand crumbs I advise you to melt a small amount of butter (50-70 g) and moisten the crumbs with it.
Place the mold in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, turn the pan over onto a plate and very carefully remove the cake from it. Additional decorations for dessert are no longer required. 
Here a thin layer of crushed cookies and a wide layer of creamy mass based on cottage cheese are preserved. But in in this case we do without the help of an oven, adding gelatin to the filling and thereby significantly simplifying the process and reducing cooking time. To make the filling very tender and “silky”, we use a one-to-one ratio of cottage cheese and sour cream.
No-bake curd cake with gelatin and cookies is lighter than sponge cream products. He plays the role perfectly homemade dessert in hot weather, and when beautiful design with berries/fruits it is instantly transformed, becoming elegant and solemn, worthy of an important event.

No-bake cottage cheese cake with gelatin recipe with photo
- Let's make the base. Grind the cookies using a blender until they become flour, pour them into a convenient work bowl. Any brittle cookie is suitable for the recipe - sweet crackers, Yubileiny, Maria, etc.
- Melt the butter. After cooling, pour in the sand crumbs.
- Mix the mixture, soaking all the cookie grains with the oily liquid.
- Let's take it springform(in this example, a container with a diameter of 22 cm is used), for convenience we lay the bottom parchment paper. Pour in the oiled crumbs. Distribute evenly and compact with your fingers to form an even layer of equal thickness.
- Let's prepare the curd layer (we put the mold with the base of the cake in the refrigerator for now). Combine cottage cheese, sour cream, and all the sugar, including vanilla, in one bowl. Grind with an immersion blender until perfectly smooth and all curd lumps and sugar grains disappear. Cottage cheese for the recipe is suitable for any fat content, but preferably 5% or higher, as well as fine-grained.
- Soak gelatin in 100 ml cold water, allow the granules to swell. The swelling time depends on the specific gelatin - instant gelatine takes 10 minutes, regular gelatin takes 40-60 minutes (see instructions on the package).
- Heat the swollen mass until the granules are completely dissolved. A simple and convenient method is to place a bowl of gelatin in a bowl of hot water and actively mix the composition until a homogeneous liquid is obtained. You can heat the mass in another way (microwave, stove, “ water bath"), just don’t forget that gelatin cannot be boiled!
- After cooling slightly, pour the dissolved gelatin into the mixture in a thin stream. curd cream. All the time we actively mix the mass with a hand whisk so that the gelatin composition is distributed evenly.
- We take out the mold with the base and fill the layer of cookies with the curd mixture. Place in the refrigerator until the light layer hardens (it will take 2-4 hours).
- We randomly decorate the frozen dessert with berries or fruits. In our example, we use pieces of canned peaches, raspberries and blueberries (you can use other additives).
- Following the instructions on the package, prepare the jelly and first pour in the assorted fruits and berries. a small amount. We put the dessert in the refrigerator so that the jelly layer “sets” and fixes all the additives. Then fill the cake with the remaining jelly and return it to the refrigerator shelf.
- After waiting for the final hardening, we release our product from the mold - carefully run a knife along the walls, remove the split side. Transfer the dessert to a plate and add mint leaves if desired.
- No-bake cottage cheese cake with gelatin and cookies is ready! Cut into portions.
