Step 1
1. The recipe for a no-bake fruit cake starts with the crust. To prepare it, you need to turn the cookies into fine crumbs. The cake's texture is so delicate that it's best to use a blender to avoid any large cookie pieces.

2. Next, melt the butter. In a deep bowl, combine the butter and cookie crumbs. Mix thoroughly to prevent lumps from forming.

3. Place the crumb mixture on the bottom of the pan and press firmly. The crust should be even and compact. For convenience, line the sides of the pan with parchment paper, which can be easily removed later.

5. Now it's time to prepare the so-called cream. Soak the gelatin in a small amount of hot water. Stir well and wait until it dissolves completely. In a separate container, mix yogurt (preferably natural thick yogurt without additives) and sugar. Set aside some strawberries for decorating the cake, and puree the rest. Add the strawberry puree and slightly cooled gelatin to the yogurt mixture, then mix thoroughly. Pour the prepared mixture into the mold.

6. The no-bake fruit cake is almost ready. All that's left is to decorate the top and put it in the refrigerator to set. It should spend at least 5-6 hours in the refrigerator, but it's better to leave it overnight.
