Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 envelope Unflavored gelatin powder
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mixed berry compote (optional, for serving)
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and small bubbles appear around the edges of the pan. Do not let it boil.
While the cream mixture heats, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it fully dissolves into the cream.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, whisk in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture into 6 small serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Once the Swedish cream is set, top each serving with a spoonful of mixed berry compote, if desired, and garnish with a fresh mint leaf.
Serve chilled and enjoy this elegant dessert!
