I can't decide what's the tastiest part of this cake—the crunchy base of chocolate and corn flakes, the creamy cheese filling with a mousse-like consistency, or the jelly with embedded fruits. All of these elements make the cake absolutely perfect. It's an indispensable dessert for summer parties or pleasant afternoon snacks.

Light fruit mousse cake

When bushes in the garden are heavy with fruits, and the stalls are vibrant with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, it's worth taking advantage of the season's bounty. The flavours of summer are fresh fruits and vegetables. A light, fluffy cake with fruit is simply the ideal dessert.

A pleasantly crunchy base, delicate cheese-fruit filling, jelly, and fruits—all these components work together harmoniously. Additionally, I prepare the whole cake without using the oven.

Step 4. Whip the cooled cream together with the powdered sugar. Gradually add the cheesecake quark to the whipped cream, mixing continuously. Divide the mixture into two parts. Add the cooled raspberries to one part and the thickening clear jelly to the other. Pour the pink mixture onto the base and place it in the fridge until it sets.

Step 6. Dissolve two clear jellies in 700 ml of boiling water. When it starts to thicken, pour it over the cake. Place it in the fridge for about 6 hours, or preferably overnight. Enjoy!
