Jelly & Fruit Lazy Cake

The laziest cake in the best way: strawberry and blueberry jelly whisked with qishta and cream cheese, folded around digestive biscuits and fresh berries, then chilled until it slices into pink marbled squares.

How to Prepare

1

Dissolve the jelly sachets in the hot water, then stir in the cold water and let it cool slightly.

2

Whisk the qishta with the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually whisk in the jelly mixture.

3

Layer digestive biscuits in a tray and pour over part of the jelly cream.

4

Scatter strawberries and berries, add another biscuit layer and the remaining cream.

5

Top with more fruit and chill for at least 4 hours until fully set.

6

Slice into squares and serve cold.

Chef Noor's Tip

Let the jelly cool before whisking it into the cream — hot jelly thins the mixture and the layers will not hold their slice.
