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.
