Russian Creme Custard
Chill: 2 hrs 30 mins to 4 hrs 45 mins
Cook: 9 mins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 8 ounce carton dairy sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Raspberry Sauce (recipe follows)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries
Directions
1. In a small heavy saucepan, combine whipping cream and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; set aside.
2. In another small saucepan, combine water and gelatin. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Heat and stir over medium heat till gelatin dissolves. Stir gelatin mixture into whipping cream mixture; transfer to a medium bowl. Stir sour cream and vanilla into cream mixture; mix well.
3. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes or till mixture thickens like the consistency of yogurt. (Or can place gelatin mixture in a bowl of ice water and chill about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.)
4. Layer cream mixture and Raspberry Sauce in each of 6 parfait, martini, or wine glasses, ending with Raspberry Sauce; swirl sauce into the cream with a thin metal spatula. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours. Top with fresh raspberries just before serving. Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries or strawberries, thawed
- 1/3 cup sugar

Cook and stir over medium heat till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Makes 1-1/4 cups.
