Step-by-step method

At a glance

You'll whip together a dreamy mascarpone and gelatin cream with fresh strawberries for this no-bake treat that comes together in about 30 minutes of easy prep work. The trickiest part is incorporating the warm gelatin cream into the mascarpone slowly and steadily so no lumps form, then you'll layer everything into a biscuit base before letting the fridge do all the hard work for 10–12 hours.

Prepare the pan

Prepare a springform cake pan, 26–28 cm in diameter. Line both the bottom and sides with baking paper.

Biscuit base

Put all the biscuits and the coconut fat into a food processor. Blend together until you get a compact mixture. Spread this mixture over the bottom of the pan and press down firmly.

Heat the cream and stir in the gelatine

Heat the whipping cream. It shouldn't boil, but it should be hot. Whisk in the gelatine until there are no lumps left in the cream. Let it cool slightly.

Pour in the cream and whip together

Slowly pour in the lukewarm cream. Keep the mixer running on a low speed the whole time so no lumps form in the cream mixture. Once all the cream has been incorporated, increase the speed and whip everything together thoroughly.

Prepare the strawberries

While the cream mixture is whipping, cut three-quarters of the strawberries into small cubes. Slice the rest of the strawberries.

About this recipe

This is a quick, no-bake cake that just needs a little time in the fridge — plus about fifteen minutes of prep. If you happen to have wild strawberries or everbearing strawberries ripening at home, feel free to use those instead. I promise the cake will be even better, because the flavor of these strawberries is simply perfect.
