We love strawberries and now that the season is coming when this exquisite fruit is at its maximum splendor, we must take full advantage of it. The strawberry is ideal for preparing delicious desserts and cakes.

Therefore, we share this super simple recipe so that you can make it or keep it in mind for the hot days that are coming. I must clarify that if you are one of those who do not like strawberries very much because they often have a sour taste, do not be afraid to make it since when it is in a cake, it changes the flavor a little and becomes much softer and sweet.

It is also a very versatile recipe, since if you are on a diet or are simply taking care of yourself, we can replace the fatty ingredients with reduced-calorie ingredients. Nowadays it is easy to find a healthier replacement for any ingredient.

In short, it is a recipe to keep in mind and keep as one of your favorites since you should not use the oven at all, something that many of us hate or simply get tired of using it.

Ingredients

-60 g of sweet vanilla flavored cookies

-50 g of Oats

-2 tablespoons of milk

-50 g of Butter

-150 g of cream cheese

-150 g of strawberries

-Sugar w/n

-2 tsp lemon juice and zest

Preparation

First of all, we start by cleaning the strawberries well and cutting the stem, cutting them into thin slices or small pieces, that’s up to you. We put them in a container and add the lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar, this is done to remove the bitterness from the strawberry and to release all the juice. We let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

On the other hand, with the help of a blender, a processor or the same with a stick, we are going to crush the cookies. Once they are well crushed, we put them in a container and add the milk, oats and melted butter. We mix all the ingredients well until it becomes a homogeneous paste. Butter is what will make all the ingredients come together, if for some reason you don’t want to use it we can replace it with coconut oil, currently it is available in any diet.

We place it in a small dish, pressing it well so that there is a consistent layer and we place it in the freezer to harden for about 15 minutes.

Now we make the filling and for that we mix the cream cheese, along with the sugar and the lemon or orange zest, either of the two gives it a special taste. If you want we can replace the sugar with stevia or sweetener.

We pour this mixture over the base that we had made previously, when we do this, it is time to add the strawberries that we had already cut. We arrange them well and if we want we can decorate with some flakes of cream.

We put it in the refrigerator and let it rest for approximately an hour.

Now, let’s enjoy the deliciousness of this cake, ideal for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Let’s take the opportunity to surprise mom on her day and make something with our own hands for her.
