No-bake buttermilk cake – notes
Buttermilk cake is a bit like a no-bake cheesecake, but without cottage cheese. Because it’s made with buttermilk.
In consistency, this dessert is more like jelly, and it has few calories :)
To reduce its calorie content and make a fit dessert, I used erythritol instead of sugar to sweeten it. Erythritol is a natural sweetener that has no calories. It is only slightly less sweet than white sugar, so we use it in the same amount. If you don’t have erythritol, you can use xylitol or regular sugar (but then the calorie content of the dessert will be slightly higher).
I made my buttermilk dessert with natural buttermilk, to which I added crystalline jelly for flavor, in addition to erythritol.
You can make other flavor versions of this no-bake cake here.
If you choose a fruit buttermilk instead of natural buttermilk – e.g., strawberry buttermilk and strawberry jelly with it, you will get a no-bake strawberry buttermilk cake :)
Fruit buttermilk is usually already slightly sweetened, so before adding sugar to it, check if that sweetness is enough for you, or if you need to sweeten the mixture a bit.
How to make no-bake buttermilk cake – tips
The preparation of this no-bake dessert itself is not difficult, but it requires some cooling time.
First, we cool the buttermilk mixture. Only when it has firmly set, arrange the fruit on top and pour over the setting fruit jelly.
The jelly for the top must already be thickening, otherwise it might run down the cake!
You can arrange any available fruits on the no-bake buttermilk cake. Cut larger ones into smaller pieces beforehand. Choose a jelly flavor that matches the fruits. Although it’s not essential :)
Put the cake with jelly and fruit back into the fridge so that the jelly on top sets firmly.
Before serving, remove the buttermilk cake from the fridge and carefully separate the cake from the edges (if you lined the mold with foil beforehand, you can unclip the springform ring immediately).
Such a no-bake jelly cake is a great idea for a dessert on a hot summer day – not only is it wonderfully refreshing and tastes great, but it also has few calories :)

No-Bake Buttermilk Cake Recipe
Today, I would like to welcome you to a bit of a "mock" no-bake cheesecake. Why mock? Because it's made with buttermilk instead of quark (twaróg)! In fact, it is more of a buttermilk jelly cake than a no-bake cheesecake, since the texture of this dessert is much closer to jelly. That being said, I can tell you that this jelly cake tastes absolutely delicious and is incredibly refreshing when it's hot outside. I prepared my buttermilk dessert on a base of ladyfingers—the kind used for tiramisu. You can also use regular round sponge cookies, or skip the crust entirely to make the dessert even lower in calories.
You can prepare this no-bake buttermilk cake with various seasonal fruits. When fresh fruit is out of season, canned fruit works wonderfully—canned peaches, for instance, are a perfect fit here. If using peaches, go with peach jelly to really enhance that peach flavor!
