    The heat right now here in Berlin does not make me want to heat turn on the oven. Mainly because my flat is right under the roof and if it’s warm outside for more than two days, my kitchen turns into a Finnish sauna ;) I can’t stop making sweet stuff though I have to come up with alternative ways of “baking”. Well, actually “no-baking” cakes. This beauty with golden kiwi on top is a perfect example of a summer-ready no-bake fridge cake ;)

    There is nothing better than no-bake cakes in summer. Not only because you avoid heating up your kitchen with a running oven – a cake out of the fridge is so refreshing and nice. That can only be topped by ice cream this time of year. But we don’t want to eat ice cream all the time, right? ;)

    If you are using skyr for your summer cake, you can even save some calories compared to a cake made with cream cheese – less fat and more protein. And with the fruits on top, you get some vitamins extra. Especially with these Zespri SunGold Kiwi – they are bursting with vitamins, much more than the regular green kiwi – and on top sweet and delicious ;) Fortunately, you get the SunGold Kiwi now in all supermarkets ;)

    If you want more information about the Zespri SunGold Kiwi – where is it coming from, what kind of vitamins are in there or even more recipes with this sweet fruit – check out the Zespri website*.

    Back to this summer cake here… unlike to regular green kiwi, the yellow/golden ones work much better with dairy products and gelatin. Maybe you have experienced it already – adding fresh green kiwi to a yogurt can lead to a bitter taste. That’s because kiwis contain a proteolytic enzyme (the green ones more than the golden ones). Not poisonous but also not delicious in some cases ;) To make sure nothing weird’s gonna happen with this cake I decided to add a thin layer of apricot jam on top and underneath the SunGold kiwi layer. Just in case. Also, the jam helps to seal in the kiwi and keeps them fresh for much longer time ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Line a 9 inches (23cm) springform tin with baking parchment and set aside. Add the cookies to a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Add together with the ground hazelnuts and sugar to a bowl and mix. Add the melted butter and mix until everything comes together. Pour into the prepared tin and press to the bottom to get a nice even layer. Place in the fridge until needed.

    2. Add the gelatin leaves to a bowl with cold water and let soak for about 5-7 minutes. Add the skyr and sugar to a large bowl and mix. If you are using plain Skyr, add some vanilla extract (optional). Squeeze the soaked gelatin leaves to get rid of some of the water, then add to a small saucepan and heat up until the gelatin gets liquid. Remove from the heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of the Skyr to the saucepan and mix to adjust the temperature of the gelatin. Add this mixture to the bowl with the Skyr and mix until well combined. Set aside. Whisk the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the sky cream, then pour unto the prepared tin. Smooth out the top and place in the fridge for about 4-5 hours, better overnight.

    3. Peel the kiwis and cut into thin slices. Heat up the apricot jam so it gets liquid. Add some of the jam on the cake (still in the tin) to get a thin layer on top. Place the sliced kiwi on top in a nice pattern and brush with the remaining jam. Place again in the fridge for an hour. Serve cooled.

    1. Eine 23cm (9 inches) Springform mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Butterkekse in einen Gefrierbeutel füllen und dann mit einem Nudelholz zu feinen Bröseln zerstoßen. Zusammen mit den gemahlenen Haselnüssen und dem Zucker in einer Schüssel vermischen, die geschmolzenen Butter dazugeben und alles gut verrühren. Die Masse in die vorbereitete Form füllen und zu einer glatten Schicht festdrücken. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    2. Für die Füllung die Gelatine für 5-7 Minuten in kaltes Wasser legen und aufweichen lassen. Den Skyr mit dem Zucker in einer Schüssel verrühren. Wer normalen Skyr verwendet, kann hier noch den Vanille Extrakt dazugeben. Die aufgeweichte Gelatine leicht ausdrücken und dann in einem kleinen Topf bei mittlerer Hitze auflösen. Vom Herd nehmen und 1-2 Eßlöffel der Skyr-Masse zur Gelatine dazgeben und verrühren, um die Temperatur anzugleichen. Diese Mischung dann unter die restliche Skyr-Masse rühren und zur Seite stellen. Die kalte Schlagsahne steifschlagen und dann vorsichtig unter die Skyr-Masse ziehen. In die Springform füllen und für 4-5 Stunden, besser über Nacht kaltstellen.

    3. Die Kiwis mit einem Sparschäler vom Fell befreien und in dünne Scheiben schneiden. Die Aprikosenmarmelade in einen kleinen Topf geben und erwärmen, bis sie dünnflüssig wird. Eine dünne Schicht Marmelade auf dem Kuchen verteilen und dann die Kiwis nach Belieben auf dem Kuchen verteilen. Die Kiwis mit der restlichen Marmelade bestreichen. Den Kuchen für eine weitere Stunde in den Kühlschrank stellen und dann gekühlt servieren.
