Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for the no-bake cottage cheese and strawberry cake.
Step 2
Place 200 g, or about 7 oz, oatmeal cookies in a blender in batches and process into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a deep bowl.
Step 3
Add 60 g, or about 4 tablespoons, melted ghee or 80 g, or about 5½ tablespoons, melted butter to the cookie crumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 4
Line the bottom of a suitable cake pan with plastic wrap and lightly grease the inside with vegetable oil. Spread the oatmeal cookie mixture evenly over the bottom.
Step 5
Press the crust firmly and evenly using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
Step 6
Hull about 350 g, or 12 oz, ripe strawberries and cut them into small pieces.
Step 7
Pour 200 ml, or about ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon, room-temperature milk into a bowl. Add 30 g instant gelatin, stir well and leave for 10 minutes to bloom.
Step 8
Place 350 g, or about 12 oz, cottage cheese and 400 g, or about 1¾ cups, sour cream in a large bowl. Add 170 g, or about ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon, sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar.
Step 9
Blend the ingredients until the cottage cheese mixture is completely smooth.
Step 10
Transfer the bloomed gelatin mixture to a saucepan. Heat gently over low heat, stirring, until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not let it boil.
Step 11
Pour the warm dissolved gelatin into the cottage cheese mixture and mix thoroughly until smooth.
Step 12
Add the chopped strawberries to the cottage cheese and gelatin mixture and gently stir to combine.
Step 13
Pour the strawberry cottage cheese mixture over the chilled oatmeal cookie crust. Distribute the strawberry pieces evenly.
Step 14
Place the assembled cake in the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerate for about 2 hours, until set.
Step 15
Remove the chilled cake from the pan. Decorate the top with fresh strawberries and drizzle with prepared chocolate glaze before serving.
Step 16
The no-bake strawberry cake is ready to serve.
