We are in the midst of doing some renovation works at home. It gives me less time to experiment with some recipes, nevertheless we are still hungry and in the mood for some nice treats, that's why I have prepared this easy charlotte with pineapple and strawberry. I am not sure if there is an English word for 'charlotte'. But for sure it is the easiest cake you can make. No eggs nor flour and no baking time. Just some 'cool' time in the fridge.
You do not even have to feel too guilty when cutting a big part of this cake, once it is ready because it is made with low fat cream cheese (used 0%).
You do have special plastic molds for this cake, but even without this it is absolutely no problem. A normal bowl with a flat bottom will do the trick. After dipping the biscuits in the juice, they will become soggy and sweet and easily take the shape of the bowl.
This not too unhealthy treat will melt in your mouth offering a nice blend of cream cheese and fresh fruit with some well-integrated biscuits.
