Preparation

Preparation15 min

Waiting time6 hours

Soak the gelatin sheets in very cold water for 5 minutes.
Line a rectangular baking pan with plastic wrap, letting the edges hang over the sides to make it easier to remove the cake from the pan.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, heavy cream, and Greek yogurt until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
Add the lemon juice and zest, chives, parsley, salt, pepper, and 3 surimi sticks cut into pieces. Mix well and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Squeeze out the gelatin sheets and dissolve them in a glass containing 2 tablespoons of very hot water. Stir until they are completely dissolved.
Immediately add the gelatin to the cream, a little at a time, stirring constantly so that it blends in completely.
There will be 3 layers of cream: spread 1/3 of it on the bottom of the pan.
Arrange 6 surimi sticks (3 rows x 2 columns).
Add a second layer of cream, then another 6 sumiri sticks. Gently tap the mold on the countertop to remove any air pockets. Finish by covering with the remaining cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Take it out of the refrigerator. Turn it out directly onto a serving plate. Garnish with lemon zest and lemon slices.
Enjoy your meal!
