Cookpad Logo Christmas Wreath Cake
- 250 grams Cream cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 200 grams Strained yogurt (450 g will reduce to about 200 g)
- 60 grams Caster sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 7 grams Gelatin
- 2 tbsp Water for the gelatin
- 100 grams You preferred biscuits
- 50 grams Unsalted butter or margarine for baking
- 1 bottle's worth Apple jam (refer to Step 17)
- 1 Mini jello serving (refer to Step 19)
- 1 as much as you need Decorating pen (your preferred color)
- 8 this time Strawberries
- Strain the yogurt.
- I use "pashaco's", which adds salt to the yogurt for a quick prep.
- Soak gelatin in water.
- Bring the strained yogurt and heavy cream to room temperature.
- Save 50 ml from the 200 ml of heavy cream for decorating.
- Pound the biscuits into fine crumbs.
- The biscuit packaging was thick, so I crumbled the biscuits over it with a rolling pin.
- If using a separate bag, make sure the bag is thick.
- Rub in microwaved butter to the bag of biscuit crumbs.
- When the biscuit crumbs have well-absorbed the butter, scatter on the bottom of the mold.
- Use a cup wrapped in plastic wrap to pack down the biscuit crumbs.
- In a microwave safe container, microwave the cream cheese for 15 seconds at 700 W, flip over and microwave for another 15 seconds.
- If it's still hard, watch over it and microwave for longer.
- Whisk the softened cream cheese.
- Add sugar and whisk.
- Add yogurt, heavy cream (150 ml), and lemon juice, and whisk.
- Save 50 ml of heavy cream for decorating.
- Microwave the gelatin until near boiling.
- If the mixture completely boils, it won't harden later.
- Add 2 spoonfuls of Step 9 to the heated gelatin and mix.
- I do this to avoid clumping.
- Add this mixture to the bowl at Step 9 and mix well.
- If the gelatin clumps, microwave the mixture for a bit.
- Microwaving won't completely melt the clumps, but will slightly melt it into the mixture.
- Strain the mixture once.
- Pour the strained mixture into the mold, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for more than 2 hours.
- As this cake is topped with the Cookpad logo, I made the logo with a chocolate decorating pen.
- Chill the design in the refrigerator.
- I referred to Cookpad user "Mel-chan love's" method shown here.
- It was super informative.
- For the background, I dissolved green and yellow food coloring for a lime-green dye.
- I used Cookpad user "Apitan's"to make a glaze for the fruits on top.
- This method is super convenient!!
- Definitely try it out.
- I used an apple-flavored mini jello for the glaze.
- Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise.
- Take out the chilled cake from the fridge.
- Whisk the saved 50 ml of heavy cream with a scant teaspoon of sugar until peaks form.
- Put the whisked heavy cream into a piping bag and decorate the edges.
- Pour the lime green food coloring on the surface of the cake.
- Top with the hardened decoration.
- I designed the Christmas bell with a chocolate pen as well.
- Lay the strawberry halves along the edges of the cake, overlapping slightly.
- It'll look like this.
- Brush on "Apitan's" glaze from Step 19.
- It's easy to prepare and will help keep the strawberries glossy.
- Done!
- I'll upload a Christmas version with the same recipe later.
