Swedish Berry Cream Dessert



This was on a blog I stalk. It sounded good so I made it and liked it. It actually reminded me a lot of the McDonald's fruit and yogurt parfait. Really I'm just posting because I haven't added any recipes in a long, long time, and now that I know a few other people check here, I feel like I need to. What can I say? I've been busy! Plus, the produce co-op has been fairly disappointing lately.

I made Homemade Nilla Wafers to go along with it.

As always, my picture does not do it justice. Is it my counter? I don't know, but I've got to figure out how to make my food look more appetizing on here.


1 envelope Knox gelatin
1/4 c. cold water
2 1/2 c. heavy cream (to save a few calories, I use 1 1/4 c. half an half, 1 1/4 c. heavy cream)
1 c. sugar
2 c. sour cream (I use fat free)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 c. fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries -- whatever you love most)

Dissolve gelatin in water.
Heat (do not boil) cream, sugar, and gelatin; stirring gently.
Cool to room temperature.
Fold in sour cream and vanilla.
Pour over berries and chill (you can do individual serving bowls, or a big bowl)
Serves 8

I did not chill long enough before serving and it was runny. The next morning it was much thicker and better. So I don't know how long it has to chill, but certainly more than 2-3 hours.
