How to Make Sheila's Swedish Creme

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 envelopes (4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture just begins to simmer and the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Let the mixture cool slightly, then gently fold in 1 cup sour cream until completely incorporated.
  5. Pour the mixture into a large stemmed glass bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-4 hours, or until set.
  6. Before serving, garnish generously with fresh raspberries and blackberries (or your favorite fruits!).
