Rhubarb - strawberry pie
Rhubarb, strawberries - the first fruits of our latitudes in spring - summer. Let's put them to work! Managed a fantastically delicious and healthy pie!
Cake without baking - colourful and delicious!
Pour hot water over the dried plums, if they are not already very soft, and set aside for 15 minutes.
Prepare the base - Mix the Belvita biscuits and dried plums with a blender. A sticky, moist mass will form, put it in the fridge while you prepare the other ingredients.
Prepare the apricot purée - remove the pips from the apricots, cut them into 4 pieces and place in a saucepan with a little water (~30 g) and sweetener if desired. Cook the apricots, whisk with a blender and cool.
Prepare the filling for the cherry layer - Place the cherries in a saucepan, add the sweetener and cornstarch, and boil, stirring. The mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
Pour 200 g cold water over 40 g gelatine and set aside to swell.
Place 400 g previously prepared apricot puree, 500 g culinary curd 'White', 250 g fresh Ricotta cheese, 16 g vanilla sugar and sweetener in a bowl. Whisk everything.
Finely chop 100 g strawberries and 100 g nectarines and stir into the apricot-curd mixture.
Cut off the green part of ~360 g of beautiful strawberries of the same size and set aside.
Place the plum and biscuit mixture on the base. I used a metal ring with a diameter of 18 cm. Spread the mixture and tamp it down. Carefully remove the metal ring. Place the metal pastry ring, lined inside with an acetate sheet, around the plum and biscuit mixture.
Arrange the biscuits upright on the inside (not on top of the base, but next to it). To make them easier to stand upright, cut the round ends slightly off the bottom and press them against a sticky base.
Melt the gelatine and stir into the cream. Stir well and leave to begin to thicken.
Pour half (~750 g) of the curd–apricot mass onto the base.
Carefully spread the cherry mass on top.
Pour the remaining apricot-curd mixture on top of the cherry mixture.
Press the strawberries into the cream on top.
Put the cake in the fridge to harden.

Life live and learn. I'm learning too! And today I share a new, infinitely delicious cake, which could be compared to the popular Zaher Viennese cake only, of course, in a healthy version.
It's so hard to miss ready-made, yellow, fluffy, aromatic apricots at the market or in the store…
