- Can I use Greek yoghurt?
- Yes, absolutely! Thicker yoghurt makes it even creamier.
No-bake yoghurt and fruit cake
When it's too hot to turn on the oven, this cake is the saviour. One of the best in the 'fridge cake' genre: a crunchy butter biscuit base and a quiveringly soft yoghurt mousse. The secret lies in high-quality, thick yoghurt.

Instructions
1
✓
Crush the biscuits into crumbs, mix with the melted butter. Press into the bottom of the tin and refrigerate.
Tip: Compact it with the bottom of a glass so it doesn't crumble when cut.
2
✓
Soak the gelatine in the water, let it bloom, then heat until liquid.
Tip: Heating dissolves the gelatine molecules in the water (sol state).
3
✓
Mix the yoghurt until smooth with the icing sugar. Temper the gelatine and mix it in.
Tip: Sugar dissolves faster with icing sugar.
4
✓
Whip the cream and fold into the yoghurt mixture together with half the fruit.
Tip: Mix with loose movements to keep the cream airy.
5
✓
Pour over the biscuit base and chill for 4 hours. Top with the remaining fruit when serving.
Tip: The gelatine cross-links upon cooling (gel state), solidifying the cake.
