"While the summer heat is taking its sweet time subsiding, there are plenty of no-bake desserts you can prepare to stay cool and satisfy your sweet tooth. Take a cue from a 2-ingredient no-bake strawberry cloud cake, but vary your berries a bit to turn your dessert a cool blue with a similar set of ingredients. All basic cloud cakes begin with a base of gelatin powder and unsweetened applesauce;"
"In a heat-proof mixing bowl, combine both ingredients and then warm everything up using a double boiler or microwave to fully dissolve the gelatin before letting the mixture cool to room temperature. Next, transfer it to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat the batter with a wire whisk attachment to achieve an almost whipped cream-like consistency. Look for when soft peaks start to form."
"In addition to using the right duo of ingredients, consider all the fun ways you can enjoy this heavenly no-bake cake once it has properly set. For example, you can keep your toppings lighter than air while still changing up the texture with a handful of freeze-dried blueberries sprinkled across the top. Prepare a blueberry-infused whipped cream to pipe on for even more delicious and weightless decoration."
Blueberry cloud cake uses unsweetened blueberry applesauce and gelatin as the base. Use one and two-thirds cups applesauce and four and a half teaspoons gelatin. Warm the mixture in a double boiler or microwave to fully dissolve the gelatin, then cool to room temperature. Beat the cooled mixture in a stand mixer with a wire whisk until an almost whipped cream-like consistency appears and soft peaks form. Gently transfer the fluffy batter into a prepared pan and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to set. Top with freeze-dried blueberries or blueberry-infused whipped cream for light, airy decoration.
