We've got some major holidays just around the corner and that's a lot of pressure on those of us preparing the meals. We plan and plan for months to prepare for these meals and then — we run out of room in the oven. Here are a few ideas for desserts that will leave plenty of parking spots in your oven.
No-bake desserts are just as delicious as those that require hours of mixing and baking. What makes no-bake desserts better than those — the fact that they only require a few minutes of your time!
Whip up the Skinny No Bake Cheesecake Tart from Babble and garnish it with seasonal fruit to really make a statement.

The No-Bake Chocolate Cake looks gorgeous, but unfortunately my Spanish is too elemental to translate the recipe.
Can anyone provide an English translation for it on this blog or direct us to one?

Ingredients for a long cast of 15:
225 g. chopped chocolate (I Barry Tanzania 75% cacao)
225 g of cream 35% fat
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons instant coffee (optional)
1 / 2 teaspoon pepper Jamaine (optional, can substitute tonka bean)
Butter for pan
Cocoa powder for dusting
Preparation:
Lightly coat pan with butter and cover with wax paper.
Put the cream in a saucepan over low heat. In a mortar grind the salt, pepper and coffee
(If used).
When the cream to a boil, add the pepper, coffee and chocolate, set aside
from heat and let stand a few minutes to soften chocolate.
Then stir gently and pour into the mold. Cover surface with film
when cooled plastic and put in the fridge overnight.
To serve, unmold and let stand 10 min. at room temperature, dusted with cocoa
powder and cut into slices with a knife heated in a glass of hot water.
Note: This is a simple truffle so this recipe accepts many variations, the chocolate
may be milk or white.
You can remove the spices and add 3 tablespoons bitter orange marmalade,
or candied orange peel.
Also you can add sweet milk, some liquor, and so on.
@ks sunflower - there's also a translate button labeled "Traducir" with flags beside it, right above the facebook box on the right. Click that and choose the UK flag for English (first flag) or one of the other flags for the page to reload translated.
Does anyone have any idea how long something like that chocolate cake would last? Do you think I could make several of them and use them over the space of a couple weeks?
@kc sunflower
