The 3-Ingredient No-Bake Strawberry Cloud Cake is an ultra-light and airy dessert made with fresh strawberries, unsweetened applesauce, and unflavored gelatin, creating a refreshing treat without any baking or added sugar.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (77g) chopped fresh strawberries (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)

1 1/3 cups (313g) unsweetened applesauce

4 1/2 tsp (15g) unflavored gelatin powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Chop the strawberries into 1/2-inch cubes and set them aside.
  2. Blend Strawberries and Applesauce: Add the chopped strawberries and applesauce to a blender. Blend until smooth and uniform in color.
  3. Mix Gelatin: Pour the strawberry and applesauce puree into a large heat-proof mixing bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the mixture and whisk until the gelatin is fully incorporated.
  4. Dissolve Gelatin: Use the double boiler method on the stove to gently dissolve the gelatin. Stir occasionally until the mixture becomes thinner, but do not let it boil. Let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Whip the Mixture: Pour the cooled mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer with the wire whisk attachment. Beat on high speed for about 15 minutes, until the mixture quadruples in volume and reaches a whipped cream-like consistency with soft peaks.
  6. Set in Pan: Pour the mixture into a prepared 8-inch or 9-inch square pan lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to smooth the surface and refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour or overnight to set.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, decorate with whipped cream frosting, fresh berries, or enjoy as is.

Notes

Frozen strawberries can be used; just ensure they are thawed and drained.

This cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge to chill and set.

Feel free to use other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or peaches for flavor variations.

If you don’t have a stand mixer, a hand mixer or whisking by hand will work, though it may take more time.

Agar-agar can be substituted for gelatin in a 1:1 ratio for a vegan version.

The cake is naturally gluten-free as it contains no flour or gluten-containing ingredients.

This cake stays fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge.
