This no-bake gingerbread, banana, and sour cream cake uses four ingredients: unfilled gingerbread cookies, sour cream, ripe bananas, and chocolate glaze. Layer sliced gingerbread cookies and banana rounds in a bowl lined with plastic wrap, covering each layer with sour cream. Preparation takes about 15 minutes, and chocolate glaze goes on top. It's an unusual dessert for anyone who doesn't want to bake.

Ingredients

Gingerbread cookies (unfilled) 0.5 kg
Sour cream 0.5 l
Bananas (ripe) 4
Chocolate glaze as needed

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the gingerbread cookies into slices about 0.8 cm thick. Peel the bananas and cut them into rounds 3–5 mm thick.
Line a salad bowl with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang around the rim. Arrange a layer of gingerbread cookies in the bottom and cover with sour cream.
Add a layer of bananas and cover with sour cream again. Continue alternating layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with sour cream on top.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and let it set for about 7 hours. Then turn it out and remove the plastic wrap.
Melt the chocolate and pour it over the cake. Let it set again, then serve.

Tip: Cover each gingerbread layer with sour cream all the way to the edges. The cookies soften only where the sour cream covers them; otherwise, hard spots will remain in the cake.
