Ingredients

Pie crust (shortbread biscuits or a sponge cake plate)
assorted fruits to decorate and to put inside the jelly
gelatin (we can buy it neutral and curdle fruit juices or purees or else buy it with flavors)
sugar

Preparation

We put the base chosen for the cake in the bottom of the mold. If we have opted for the biscuits, we must crush them and mix them with melted butter. We put this mass squeezing well on the base of the mold and refrigerate it so that it becomes firm.
We prepare the fruits. We will cut them evenly in shape and size so that they are more beautiful when distributing them on the cake. One idea is to place them in layers and by colors. That is, a layer of bananas, another of strawberries and another of peach, for example. We also reserve some to decorate the surface of the cake.
We prepare the gelatin. Dissolve the powders or softened leaves in cold water in the amount of liquid indicated on the package. We can play with the color of the jelly so that it contrasts with that of the fruits. For example, if we have used red fruits, it is preferable to use a light-colored gelatin such as lemon so that it allows us to see the fruit that fills the cake.
We decorate the cake with pieces of fruit, creating original shapes such as faces, mosaics, animals...

Notes

Some acidic fruits such as kiwi or pineapple can cause the gelatin not to set. A trick that solves this problem is to cook the fruit before mixing it with the gelatin.
