Easy No-Bake Childhood Cake Recipe

In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the sour cream. Start by adding only a few tablespoons of sour cream to make whisking easier. Beat the mixture until smooth.

Once well combined, gradually add the remaining sour cream and continue to whisk until you achieve a light, fluffy texture. If desired, mix in the Amaretto liqueur for a unique flavor profile and beat again until incorporated.

Lightly grease the bottom of your cake mold with a bit of the cream mixture to prevent sticking. Dip the shortbread cookies in milk for about 15 seconds. Be careful not to soak them too long; otherwise, they might become mushy. If you're in a hurry, you can increase the dipping time to 20-25 seconds for quicker absorption.

Once dipped, place a layer of cookies at the bottom of the mold. Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat this layering process until you have used all the cookies, finishing with a layer of cream at the top. You should aim for about three layers of cookies.

Cover the mold with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to set. However, if you prefer, you can serve it immediately, but the structure may not hold as well.

Once chilled, carefully remove the cake from the mold. You can decorate it with cookie crumbs and a dusting of cocoa powder if you like. Enjoy! Your homemade no-bake cake is ready to be served!
