Estonian Biscuit Cheesecake

Good Morning, Everyone. I am very excited to share an amazing cookie cake recipe by my lovely friend Kadi :) Making no bake biscuit cakes is kind of a big deal in Estonia :D Everyone knows what you mean the minute you mention it so now you too can be in the know.
I have to mention...again....how excited I get whenever someone mentions the biscuit cheesecake so I am so happy that I get to share this one with all of you :) And here it is :)

As a city dweller I command a fairly small kitchen, meaning the use of an oven usually entails me yanking it out of the cupboard, setting it on my kitchen table and loosing that all-important working space. In addition, baking is a more time-consuming endeavour, which is why after a long day during the week I turn to a simple yet effective recipe: a delicious Estonian biscuit cheesecake (also a great Fathers’ Day present, which we celebrate here today).

The recipe is suitable for bakers of all ages!

All-important ingredients (all depend on the size of the cake you make): 

1.       Sour Cream

2.       Cheese curd (quark)

3.       Cocoa powder

4.       Biscuits

5.       Berries

6.       Juice

1. Decide on the size of the cake you want to make and choose a suitable cake base, preferably with higher edges, as the masterpiece will tower =)

2. Mix the cocoa powder (preferably sweetened) with the sour cream (for the size of the cake I made I used about 750g of sour cream; add the cocoa to taste)

3. Use the mixture to cover the base of your cake base. Be as generous as You want.

4. Mix together the cheese curd + cocoa sour        cream mixture and add berries of your choice – blackcurrants are a personal favourite of mine. (you can use different berries on different layers, like bananas and strawberries ...anything really)

5. Once the mixture is done and the cake base ready you can start building the cake. Before layering the biscuits I like to soak them in some orange juice. This allows the biscuit to more easily absorb all the flavours of the cake and makes the consistency more pleasurable.

6. Cover the biscuits with your mixture of cheese cur, sour cream, cocoa and berries and then add another layer of biscuits – I have chosen to use different flavour of biscuits for varying layers.

Keep going till You’ve reached the desired height.

7. Once You’ve finished, cover the entire cake with the sour cream cocoa mixture You used on the base and cover the cake in its entirety. Design Your own topping and decorate as you please. 

Cover the cake and let is set in the fridge for overnight. However if You’ve used plenty of cream and soaked your biscuits You can dig in after a few hours!
