Cream and coffee cake without baking

8 servings

30 minutes

No-bake creamy coffee cake is a refined blend of rich coffee flavor, creamy tenderness, and airy mascarpone texture. Its roots trace back to European desserts that often combine aromatic coffee with soft creamy notes. This cake impresses with its simplicity: instead of traditional sponge cake, it uses biscuit cookies soaked in a creamy cocoa and natural coffee mixture. Walnuts add a pleasant crunch and enhance the flavor. It's perfect for cozy home tea times or morning coffee. After chilling overnight in the fridge, the dessert achieves a harmonious texture, and its coffee-cream aroma fills the space with warmth and comfort. This cake is a true celebration for lovers of elegant and light sweets.

Ingredients

• Cookie: 500 g
• Cream 35%: 500 ml
• Cocoa powder: 100 g
• Natural coffee: 2 tsp
• Sugar: 20 g
• Vanilla sugar: to taste
• Sea salt: pinch

Cooking steps

1. Take cream either special for whipping or 33% or 35% fat. Do not take the cream out of the fridge before preparation - they should be cold to whip well. Chop the walnuts. Pour 2 tablespoons of instant or brewed coffee with 30 ml of hot water and let it cool.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 35%: 500 ml
   • Walnuts: 20 g
   • Natural coffee: 2 teaspoons

2. Take any sand cookie - I had a cottage cheese-nut one - of any diameter, preferably round, as it's easier to stack in a round shape. If the mold is square, it's certainly more convenient to take rectangular or square cookies. If necessary, cut each cookie in half. Don't throw away the crumbs; they'll be useful for sprinkling later.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cookie: 500 g

3. Place 500 ml of cold cream in a mixer or blender bowl, add cocoa powder, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, mascarpone, and whip to stiff peaks on high speed or pulse mode. Add 10 tsp of coffee and mix again. Taste for sweetness, and if needed, add more granulated sugar or powdered sugar.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 35%: 500 ml
   • Cocoa powder: 100 g
   • Sugar: 20 g

4. In a round baking mold, layer cookies at the bottom, add half of the cream, sprinkle with crushed walnuts, add a second layer of cookies, spread the remaining cream, top with more nuts and cookie crumbs, cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cookie: 500 g
   • Cream 35%: 500 ml

5. In the morning, carefully remove the mold from the bottom, brew coffee, cut a piece of cake, and enjoy!
