This unique no bake dessert looks like a cake but feels like you are eating a cloud. It is very fluffy and melts in your mouth. This dessert is just 2 ingredients and doesn’t require any flour, eggs, added sugar, butter or oil.
This is such a fun dessert to eat. It looks like a cake but it’s not quite a cake. It is also a very low calorie dessert. I think it’s perfect for when you are craving dessert but still want to eat healthy as well.
Unsweetened Mixed Berry Applesauce Unflavored gelatin powder Gelatin Powder: This recipe is made with unflavored gelatin powder. It will not work with flavored gelatin (like Jello). It also will not work with agar powder.
Unsweetened Mixed Berry Applesauce: Any flavored applesauce will work but you must use unsweetened applesauce. Sweetened applesauce will not work. It makes the batter too heavy and too wet. If you can’t find any flavored unsweetened applesauce, you can use regular plain unsweetened applesauce.
The gelatin is dissolved in the berry applesauce. It is then whipped for about 15 minutes or until triple the volume and soft peaks form. As it is mixing, the mixture should look like whipped cream. It will immediately deflate once you stop the mixer but if you dip your beater into the mixture, it should be able to hold a soft peak.
When you cut into this cake, it looks like a cake. But when you bite into it, it immediately melts in your mouth. The texture is almost like a very airy marshmallow.
As it melts in your mouth, you will taste the flavored applesauce. You don’t taste the gelatin. It is tart and slightly sweet.
