How to Make Russian Creme
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of gelatin. Whisk until well blended.
- Let the mixture stand for 4-5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately after boiling.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream into the hot sugar mixture.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup crème fraîche and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the hot sugar mixture to the crème fraîche mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mixture into 6-8 wine glasses or dessert dishes.
- Cover the dishes and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
- Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries before serving.
