How to Make Floating Swedish Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored powdered gelatin over low heat for 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently until sugar is fully dissolved and a light steam appears. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  4. Gently whisk the cooled cream mixture into the sour cream mixture until fully combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
  7. Before serving, top with fresh sliced peaches (or your favorite seasonal fruit) and enjoy!
