If you want to start baking, the best way is the easy way. To become a baker or a pastry enthusiast, I would first recommend developing some necessary basic skills. How to prepare the ingredients, how to mix them well or just getting familiar with the equipment and ingredients.

I would like to share this very simple no bake cake recipe. You don’t need to have pastry knowledge to make this cake.

The ingredients for this no-bake cake are cookies, bananas, cream cheese filling, and chocolate frosting. Let’s call it No Bake Cookie Banana Pyramid Cake. It looks cool and trendy, it’s fun to make and the best part is that you can create it with your kids and have a great family time.

The most important part is the creamy filling. The filling itself is a virtually fat-free healthy alternative to other similar rich fillings. The main ingredient here is a quark. Sometimes people can get confused, because quark is like cottage cheese or ricotta. Sometimes they call it curd. It is quite common in German-speaking countries or central Europe.

The rest of the ingredients of the cake are very common and well-known. You will need butter, sugar, sweet tea biscuits, melted chocolate, and a banana or two. You may have some difficulty rolling the cookie layers. This is when the pyramid is built from a layered field of tea biscuits, but don’t worry! If in doubt, check out our movie walkthrough for a more detailed explanation.

Here is the list of all the ingredients.

2-3 packets of shortbread or tea biscuits

2 quarks

125g butter

2 bananas

7 tablespoons of icing sugar

method

1) Mix the quark, butter and icing sugar in a bowl.

2) Spread the cookies on the foil in 3 rows to match the length of two bananas. Create a cookie layer that is 3 cookies tall and about 9 cookies wide.

3) Spread the filling on a layer of cookies.

4) Place the second layer of cookies on top of the filling.

5) Then spread the rest of the filling over the second layer of cookies. Leave a little cream for finishing the cake. You will need it to cover the sides of the pyramid before adding the chocolate glaze.

6) Now comes the fun part. Place 2 bananas in the second layer. Using the aluminum foil, fold the cookies into a pyramid shape.

7) Once your pyramid is built, spread the rest of the filling on the sides of the cookie pyramid. Let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour.

8) Melt the dark chocolate and cover the surface of your newly constructed cookie pyramid. Let it cool.

Have fun and enjoy!
