Cooking process
First, prepare a biscuit. To do this, we use the traditional recipe, which is most often used in cooking. About a hundred grams of water will fill the gelatin. If the latter is instant, then it must swell very quickly.
Tear the biscuit into small pieces, and carefully mix the sour cream with sugar. It is advisable that the sugar is dissolved as much as possible.
At the same time, we put gelatin on a small fire. It should dissolve with us, but it is important to ensure that the resulting mass does not boil in any case. Otherwise, the jelly will freeze and the cake will not work.
When gelatin is successfully dissolved, it needs to be allowed to cool. At least to room temperature. Only after that add sour cream to gelatin.
Now we take deep dishes, cover the bottom with cling film and spread the resulting biscuit, as well as finely chopped fruit. This should be done in layers, pouring sour cream-gelatin mixture.
From above, you can fill the cake with colored jelly to make it look even prettier. Now put the cake in the refrigerator and wait for it to cool. It remains only to turn the dessert on a plate, remove the cling film and can be served.
