No-Bake Greek Yogurt & Sour Cherry Cake

When summer temperatures are soaring and turning on the oven is the last thing you want to do, this is exactly the kind of dessert to have up your sleeve!

This no-bake Greek yogurt cake is incredibly easy to make and has become a popular summer dessert in Greece lately. It needs just a handful of ingredients, takes only a few minutes to prepare, and the fridge does all the hard work.

Creamy Greek yogurt and sweet condensed milk are combined with chunky pieces of Petit Beurre biscuits, then chilled until firm. Just before serving, top it generously with sour cherry (wild cherry) jam for a beautiful contrast of creamy, sweet, and slightly tart flavors.

And if it's really hot? You can turn it into a frozen dessert instead! Simply place it in the freezer and let it firm up until it has an ice-cream-cake-like texture. Take it out a little before serving so it's easy to slice.

Classic Banoffee Pie

If I ever had to make a top ten list with my favorite desserts, I would include on top my Tiramisu ;) and somewhere in the middle I would add the cheesecake, cannoli a la siciliana and of course the banoffee pie.
While I am trying to decide for the order, let's discover together a pie that is very popular and if you have never tried before, this is the moment to go ...
Banoffee stands for banana+toffee (caramel cream) and it's a pie that was invented or better evolved (as all recipes do) in the 70's, the period that all marvels have been born (like me :))))
There is lot's of discussion about what is the best way to do it on the web, especially concerning the toffee part that is called also "dulce con leche" or "confiture de lait" in french and you can get it even ready made at the supermarket! This is my favorite article that discusses about it.
Have I persuade you ? Let's go then!
