Ingredients
280 g (10 oz) biscuits (like digestive or graham crackers)

120 g (4.3 oz) unsalted butter, melted

200 g (7 oz) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

200 g (7 oz) canned peaches in syrup, drained and sliced

300 g (10.5 oz) cream cheese, softened

100 g (3.5 oz) granulated sugar

200 ml (6.7 fl oz) heavy cream (33% fat)

200 ml (6.7 fl oz) whole milk

10 g (0.35 oz) agar-agar powder

2–3 tablespoons desiccated coconut, for topping

Step-by-Step Directions
Prepare the biscuit base:
Crush the biscuits finely in a food processor or with a rolling pin inside a zip-lock bag. Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the crushed biscuits until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Press into mold:
Line a 20 x 15 cm (8 x 6 inch) rectangular dish with parchment paper. Press half of the buttered biscuit mixture evenly into the base of the pan using a spoon or the bottom of a glass. Place in the fridge to firm up while preparing the filling.

Prepare the fruit layer:
Wash and slice the strawberries. Drain the canned peaches and slice them evenly. Set aside.

Make the cream layer:
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream and continue whipping until the mixture is thick and fluffy.

Prepare the agar mixture:
In a saucepan, combine the milk and agar-agar powder. Stir well, then place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, cook for 1–2 minutes until the agar is fully dissolved.

Combine cream and agar mixtures:
Gradually pour the hot agar-milk mixture into the cream cheese mixture while beating constantly to prevent lumps. Mix until fully incorporated.

Assemble the first layer:
Remove the chilled biscuit base from the fridge. Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over it. Top with the sliced strawberries and peaches.

Add remaining biscuit layer:
Sprinkle the remaining crushed biscuit mixture evenly over the fruit layer. Gently press down to form a second base.

Top with remaining cream layer:
Pour the rest of the cream-agar mixture over the biscuits, spreading it smoothly with a spatula.

Chill and garnish:
Refrigerate the cake for 10 minutes until the top starts to firm up slightly. Then, sprinkle the top with desiccated coconut.

Final chilling:
Place the finished cake in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set completely before slicing and serving.

Origins and Popularity
This type of no-bake dessert is a classic in European households, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, where hot summers encourage chilled desserts. Using agar-agar instead of gelatin reflects modern dietary preferences and adds a plant-based gelling agent that’s more stable at room temperature.
