No-bake marshmallow cake - 8 quick recipes

Basic dessert recipe with sour cream

A cake with a base of chopped marshmallows is the most pleasant way out when you want something unusual and sweet, but you’re not in the mood to fire up the oven and make complex recipes! Marshmallows, sour cream and currants are a tempting combination of flavors. Let's try!

Components:

• white marshmallows – 350 g;
• granulated sugar – 100 g;
• sour cream – package (250 g);
• currant berries – 300 g (can be frozen).

Process:

1. Cut marshmallows horizontally, dipping a knife into boiling water.
2. Beat sour cream with sugar.
3. Place the bottom and middle slices of marshmallows on a plate, alternating them with berries.
4. Coat each layer with well-beaten sour cream.

There is no one in our family who is indifferent to marshmallows. I can’t say whether this is good or bad, but according to the legends of the origin of this sweetness, even in ancient times it gave strength to Aristotle and Hippocrates.

Therefore, I sincerely hope for its positive effect on the condition of our body. Now there are recipes by which such sweetness can be made at home. But I have never used them yet, but I make marshmallow cakes regularly. Or rather, I organize their creation, and my eight-year-old daughter is involved in the formation. She does it very well and tasty. I am sharing with you a cake recipe that even a child can easily make.
