Cookie Cake
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. I'm not really fond of baking because it takes a lot of time and effort. That's why I've grown fond of no-bake desserts, especially those made with cookies. However, as it turned out, there are quite a few issues—at least for me. First, such cakes often turn out too dry, and second, their taste can sometimes be overly sweet, which I really dislike. But I've found my ideal cookie cake recipe, and everything about it suits me perfectly. To prevent it from being too dry, the cookies are soaked in apple juice, and fresh fruits keep the sweetness from becoming overwhelming. These simple details are what make this cake especially delicious. Plus, we'll top it with chocolate—banana and chocolate, in my opinion, is one of the best combinations, and my guests are always absolutely delighted. Let's make it together today, and my step-by-step photo recipe will guide us. Serve with tea or coffee.

Pour the apple juice into a bowl and dip each cookie into it for a few seconds, so that it won't fall apart, but won't be dry either.
