How to Make Sour Cream Mousse
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons rum (optional), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thick and frothy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then, set the bowl over a pan of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Remove the gelatin mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly until it is almost room temperature. Quickly beat it into the sour cream mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture until just combined.
- Pour the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
- Serve chilled, garnished with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
