To make a delicious pastry-free banana cake, you'll need cookies - sweet cracker is best, but any shortbread, oatmeal, square, melted milk-scented cookie, sugar, the main thing is that it's airy and fragile. Measure the required number of products according to the list.

Dissolve the gelatin according to the package instructions. I dissolved in a cup in boiling water. 120 ml of boiling water was taken for 25 g of instant gelatin. If you do not have instant gelatin, read the instructions on the package how to dilute it correctly.

While the gelatin is covered with water, break the cookies into small pieces.

Wash the bananas, dry with paper towels, remove the skin and cut into small pieces. Immediately prepare a detachable round cake tin (18-20cm in diameter). Cover it with cling film to keep the cream from leaking.

Combine sour cream (20-30% fat) with sugar (or sugar substitute according to the instructions), add vanillin at the tip of the knife or vanilla sugar (about 1 tbsp). Be careful with the amount of vanillin, as if you overdo it, it will give bitterness. Beat the sour cream with a mixer 1 about a minute until the sugar crystals have dissolved. Sour cream can be replaced with mascarpone cheese. Then the taste of dessert will resemble tiramisa.

Pour dissolved gelatin in a thin stream into the sour cream mixture, without stopping the whipping process.

Beat sour cream with gelatin with a mixer for about a minute, no need for a long time, as the mass will freeze quickly.

Put pieces of cookies and bananas in sour cream, quickly stir with a spatula or spoon.

Immediately place the mixture in a prepared cake tin.

Flatten the surface with a culinary silicone spatula or spoon.

Cover the tin with a flat plate or tighten with cling film and place the cake in the fridge to set.

Within an hour in the fridge, the cake will set well, but you can leave it overnight to grab even better.

Remove the frozen cake from the refrigerator and carefully release it from the split mold.

Transfer the cake to a flat dish, it holds its shape perfectly.

Remove the cling film from the cake.

Take high-quality chocolate for decoration, with a high percentage of cocoa, the taste of the treat will depend on it. Rub it on a fine grater. You can decorate the dessert in a different way. For example, sprinkle lightly toasted in a dry frying pan over the top, followed by a shredded knife or in a blender with walnuts. If desired, you can sprinkle cocoa powder, coconut chips, cookie crumbs, confectionery sprinkles.

The final touch is to sprinkle a cake of biscuits, sour cream and bananas with grated chocolate and serve with tea or coffee.

This is what cake looks like without baking in the cut. The biscuits turn soft and the cake cuts perfectly without losing its shape.
