Chilled Yakult Yogurt Cake

Gene and Ni told me to make something, on behalf of them, for Father's Day. While I was searching for a cake recipe, the two kept bugging me for chilled desserts. Hmm... I wondered whether they were really sincere about wanting to give their Dad something nice or just an excuse to savour in their favourite chilled desserts. Afterall, I didn't hear a single murmur of their Dad's favourite, but all the repeated reminders of "I like chilled cakes!" or "We like chilled desserts!!" from the two gluttons. See how naughty they are?! Haha..they take after Tazz for this instance. Tazz also doesn't take his preferences into consideration when comes to desserts. *lol* Poor hubby and miserable Dad! Happy Father's Day!

This Chilled Yakult Yogurt Cake is an adaptation from the same Chilled Orange Yogurt Cake that I made in the beginning of this year. Original recipe is from Leisure Cat.



Chilled Yakult Yogurt Cake
(7" cake pan)

Ingredients for the base:
crumbs from 7 pieces of disgestive biscuits
40g melted butter

Ingredients for the filling:
100g sugarless natural yogurt
150ml yakult (I used apple flavour)
1 tbsp lemon juice
150ml non-diary whipping cream
1 tbsp gelatin
3 tbsp sugar
150ml water
Grated lemon zest

Jello Topping:
1/3 pkt Jello
120ml hot water
1/2 tsp gelatin


Method:

Mix the digestive biscuits crumbs with melted butter, and press firmly to the base of the cake pan. Chill for later use.

Dissolve gelatin and sugar with water. Set aside to cool.

Beat yogurt, yakult and lemon juice until well blended. Add cooled gelatin solution and mix well.

Whip the non-diary whipping cream till mousse state.

Add the yogurt mixture to the whipped cream and mix well.

Pour the combined mixture onto the cake base.

Sprinkle the lemon zest on the surface of the cake.

Chill in the fridge to set.

Boil all Jello topping ingredients using very low heat until dissolved. (Not supposed to bring to boil.)

When the cake is set, spoon the cooled Jello solution on the cake and refrigerate again.

Looks like I am advertising for Yakult. *lol* Well, well, just extra information for those who have no idea of what Yakult is.
