Ingredients:
- 600 grams (approximately 2.5 cups) of heavy cream
- 200 grams (about 7 ounces) of cream cheese
- 200 grams (1 cup) of low-fat quark (or a similar soft cheese)
- 80 grams (around 3/8 cup) of sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 24 grams (3 packets) of cream stabilizer
- 400 grams (2 cups) of fresh strawberries
- 16 crispy waffle cookies
Instructions:
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream with the cream stabilizer. Whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Blend Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, low-fat quark, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Creams: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and cut them into slices. Save a few whole strawberries for decoration if you like.
- Layer the Cake: Start with a layer of waffle cookies at the bottom of your serving dish. Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the waffles, then add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream and strawberries on top.
- Chill: Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. This resting time lets the waffles soften and the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Once set, decorate the top with the reserved strawberries. Slice and serve chilled.
This Simple Strawberry Cream Cake is a delightful no-bake dessert that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the creaminess of a whipped filling, all layered between crisp waffles for an easy yet impressive treat. Perfect for any occasion or a sweet end to a meal!
