Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Once the cream mixture is steaming, remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then whisk in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into dessert glasses, ramekins, or a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a fruit compote of your choice.
