Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 12 ounces sour cream light is fine
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract* see notes
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • berries, fresh

Instructions

  • Whisk together the sugar and gelatin in a small saucepan and whisk in the cold water. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
  • While the mixture is standing, whisk the vanilla into the sour cream and set aside.
  • When the gelatin mixture has sat for 5 minutes, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When boiling, remove from heat and whisk in cream. Very slowly whisk in the sour cream mixture, then distribute evenly among 6-8 ramekins.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, top with berries.

Notes

  • *If you'd like to mix up the flavors a little, try reducing the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and then adding a teaspoon of your favorite extract--lemon, orange, coconut, and lime are all great choices!
