No-Bake Fruit Cheesecake Dome
Almost Looks Too Good to Eat!
When you really want to impress your guests, try this amazing No-Bake Fruit Cheesecake Dome. This no-bake fruit cheesecake is made with soft sponge cake, cream cheese filling, and loads of fresh-cut fruits. The fruit, filling, and cake are arranged in a large bowl and then left to set in the fridge.
I arranged kiwi, orange, and strawberry on the outside of the dome cake and then fill it with kiwi, strawberry, and bananas. And the delicious cream cheese filling is made with cream cheese, yogurt, and fluffy whipped cream.
4-ingredient Sponge Cake with Oil
Here is an easy beginner-friendly step-by-step recipe for making a light 4-ingredient oil sponge cake. It’s a super easy recipe and uses basic pantry ingredients. You just need 4 ingredients, eggs, flour, sugar, and oil. In this recipe, I used oil instead of butter.
4-Ingredient Oil Sponge Cake (Step-by-Step)
Steps to Make Fruit Cheesecake Dome
Before starting this recipe, make sure you have organized all the necessary ingredients
STEP 1; Make the sponge cake (Make-ahead)
Prepare the sponge cake first; so you can bake the cake one day or several days in advance. In that case, make sure to wrap it airtight in plastic wrap and refrigerate. OR if you really don’t have time for making sponge cake from scratch, just use a store-bought sponge cake.
To make this dome cake, I used my 4-ingredient oil sponge cake recipe. As we need 2 slices of sponge cake for making this dome cake, make sure to slice the sponge cake horizontally into three layers of equal thickness before you start making this dome cake.
STEP 2; Make the sugar syrup (Make-ahead)
I like to brush the sponge cake slices with sugar syrup for added moisture. So, I just used a very simple sugar syrup, just dissolving sugar in hot water.
However, if you like flavored sugar syrups, just feel free to use your choice of flavored sugar syrups! After you make your sugar syrup, allow it to cool, and then place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
STEP 3; Prepare a bowl for assembling the cake
Next, prepare a bowl (stainless steel or glass) for assembling the cake. For making this dome cake, I used a glass bowl approximately 18 cm to 20 cm in diameter.
Line the inside of the glass bowl with enough layers of plastic wrap so that the inside is completely covered.
And make sure to let the plastic edges overhang the outside of the bowl as it will help the dome cake to come out of the bowl easier when you remove the cake from the bowl.
STEP 4; Brush the cake with sugar syrup
Use a pastry brush to soak 2 slices of sponge cake generously with the sugar syrup.
STEP 5; Prepare the fruits
Peel and cut the kiwi and oranges into slices. Rinse strawberries and slice off tops and tips. Slice each strawberry into 3 to 4 thin circles.
STEP 6; Make the filling
Next, prepare the filling. For the filling, I used cream cheese, strained yogurt, and whipped cream. You can prepare strained yogurt in advance.
STEP 7; Assembling the Cake
To assemble this domed cake, the fruit, fillings, and cake are arranged in the glass bowl and left to set. You can arrange the fruit on the outside of the dome cake in any way you like, doing your best to fill gaps but it doesn’t need to be perfect. I used kiwis, oranges, and strawberries, but just feel free to experiment with fruits you like.
Arrange fruit slices in a single layer on the inside of the bowl, alternating kiwis, oranges, and strawberries, starting in the bottom center and working out to the top edges. And then make sure to let the finished cake set in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours.
However, I don’t recommend making this cake the day before and then letting it sit overnight. As we know, we use fresh-cut fruits and probably it may cause the fruits to change color and taste if we keep the cake in the refrigerator too long, but it’s up to you to decide.
