Heaven cake with marscapone, cottage cheese and strawberries

Hi Dears!

Do You have a dessert custom for Easter?

Since it will be next week, I'm thinking about it for a while, what to bake/make for dessert.

Here the usual dishes are boiled eggs with ham and milk loaf.

But milk loaf is not a dessert in my opinion, it's a really tasty bread-like pastry, which happens to be sweet. We eat it as a side-dish with the ham, and sometimes with jam or with the nice company of honey and butter.

Usually I bake a cake, or funny, fruity muffins for the occasion. Like my Bunny cake which I made 2 years ago.

So if You have any suggestion, please leave a comment here. :)

But now I brought a no-bake cake, that I made for a family gathering (again).

It was a huge success, with the light creamy marscapone and cottage cheese.

It was really like a tasty cloud from Heaven, and the strawberries were like the angels sitting perfectly on the cotton wool-like-cake.

For the base of the cake I used diabetic crushed cookies, just because I had them, but any cookies would make it perfect. :)

Ingredients:

200 g = 4/5 cup of crushed cookies (1 general package)
50 g= 1/5 cup of butter/margarine (melted)
2 tbsp of water
----
250 g = 1 cup of marscapone (1 little box)
500 g = 2 cups of cottage cheese
250 ml = 1 cup of whipped cream (1 little box)
2 tbsp of vanilla sugar
1 tbsp of lemon juice
150 g = 3/5 cup of icing/powdered sugar
2 tbsp of sour cream
-----
500 g = 2 cups of fresh strawberries

Preparation:

1. Crush the cookies with a blender. Pour the melted margarine/butter , and 2 tablespoons of water to it, and mix it well with a fork, then with your hand.

2. Push this pastry on the surface of a circle shaped baking mold.

3. Put the marscapone and the cottage cheese in a bigger bowl. Add the sour cream and the lemon juice, then the powdered sugar to it. Stir it well.
