What should I do if I want something sweet, but I don’t have the time and energy to stand at the stove? Store-bought sweets are not the best option, because sometimes you can find not very useful ingredients in their composition. In addition, everyone has long known that home-made food, even if imperfect, is much tastier. There are recipes for desserts without baking that any hostess can master, and you can use them to pamper yourself and your loved ones.
The practicality of the British
Cheesecake without baking was invented by the British, and for this we should say a big thank you to them. Such a recipe became possible thanks to the use of gelatin and cookies, and the result is no worse than a delicacy prepared according to all the rules.
Grind 400 g of shortbread cookies to a powder with a blender and mix with 155 g of soft butter. Fill the resulting mass with a detachable mold and tamp it well. Combine 620 g of mascarpone, 155 g of powdered sugar and 500 ml of cream, while you can replace mascarpone with any cream cheese or soft pasty cottage cheese. Whisk the cream-cheese mixture well.
Mix 24 g of gelatin and 100 ml of water, and when it swells, pour 100 ml of hot milk into the water, which is simply enough to warm up without bringing to a boil. Stir the gelatin well in the liquid so that it completely dissolves. Pour the gelatin mixture into a blender with the cheese and cream and whisk again.
Put the resulting souffle into the mold — directly on the cookie cake. Put the dessert in the refrigerator until the cheese and cream layer solidifies, and then decorate the cake to your liking. You can pour it with chocolate glaze, berry jam, put pieces of fruit on top, sprinkle with chocolate or coconut chips. Show imagination and enjoy the amazing taste of cheesecake, which is a real pleasure to cook and taste!
Sausage for dessert
If you want to go back to your childhood, make a chocolate sausage without baking with cookies and nuts. Despite the abundance of sweets in pastry shops, this dessert is always out of competition!
To prepare the sausage, you will need 200 g of shortbread cookies, half of which you need to grind into powder with a grater or blender, and the other half — break or cut into larger pieces.
Fry 80 g of walnuts and chop them with a knife to make a large crumb.
Mix 50 ml of heavy cream, 90 g of sugar and 50 g of cocoa in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. The mass should become homogeneous.
Remove the cream from the heat and throw 100 g of butter, cut into cubes, into a saucepan. When the butter has melted, mix the cream well and add cookies and nuts to it in parts. Form a sausage, wrap it in plastic wrap or foil and put it in the cold to solidify.
Cut the finished sausage into circles and serve it with tea and coffee. A good mood is guaranteed!
Strawberry delight
Marshmallow lovers will appreciate a homemade recipe of strawberry and apple puree. This dish will surprise you with its ease of preparation, spectacular appearance and incredible taste. Marshmallows without baking are prepared on the basis of agar, which is easy for digestion and healthy.
Pour 10 g of agar-agar 160 ml of water and leave for 2 hours. Bake about 350 g of apples in the oven and chop them through a sieve or whisk in a blender. As a result, you should get 150 g of applesauce. Do the same with 100 g of fresh or thawed strawberries. Mix the strawberry and apple puree, heat the mass over the fire and pour 200 g of sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
Add 1 egg white to the fruit puree and beat with a blender for 10 minutes until fluffy.
Put the water with the agar dissolved in it on the fire, bring it to a boil and cook the syrup until it thickens slightly. If you scoop up a little sweet mass with a spoon or a spatula, a thread of syrup will follow it. In this case, you can safely remove the pan from the heat.
Again, start whipping the fruit puree with protein and in the process of whipping, pour the syrup into the blender — slowly, right under the rotating blades of the kitchen appliance. The mass should be smooth and dense. Try not to let it cool down, because the agar hardens quickly, and you need to have time to squeeze the marshmallows out of the pastry bag on baking paper. You can not really bother and spread the mass with a spoon.
When the products are frozen and dry, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and invite guests to a tea party!
Coconut tenderness
Expensive sweets “Raffaello” can be easily prepared at home, and they will turn out no less tasty and beautiful. To do this, mix 200 g of soft butter and a jar of whole condensed milk. Add a little vanilla sugar and 100 g of coconut chips. If you cook for adults, you can flavor the sweets with cognac to taste. Mix the candy mass well and put it in the refrigerator for about a day.
The next day, form balls from the thickened cream, scooping it with a spoon, and place an almond nut inside each “bun”. Roll the candies in coconut chips and put them on a dish, and then cool again.
Sweets “Raffaello” without baking will appeal to all sweet tooths and even those who are generally indifferent to sweets. They melt in your mouth and give so many pleasant emotions that it is impossible to pass them by!

The simplest and most delicious pastry is tiramisu, because this cake is prepared instantly, looks delicious and it is never a shame to serve it to the most honored guests.
Mix 250 g of whipped cream with a fat content of 33 % with 250 g of mascarpone and 2 tsp of vanilla sugar. Beat the mass well so that it turns out light and fluffy.
Brew a glass of coffee beans and prepare 200 g of savoyardi cookies. Do not just dip the cookies in the drink, but let it lie in it for a while, so that the future base for tiramisu is soft.

Sprinkle the cake with cocoa powder or chocolate chips and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Pour 15 g of gelatin 50 mg of boiling water for about 5 minutes. During this time, heat 310 ml of heavy cream in a small saucepan and squeeze out the juice from 1 orange. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface of the cream, remove them from the heat, you do not need to bring them to a boil. Add 1.5 tablespoons of sugar and a couple of drops of vanilla extract, and then pour in half of the gelatin mass and mix well. Fill two-thirds of glasses or cream glasses with cream, and then put them in the refrigerator for half an hour.
