Ingredients
- 10 g gelatin + 100 ml milk
- 10 g gelatin + 50 ml water
- 350 g (12.3 oz) sour cream
- 280 g (10 oz) fruit jam or confiture
- Sweetener to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: soak one portion in the milk and the other in the water, letting each swell.
- Gently warm the milk-gelatin mixture (do not boil), then stir in the sour cream and sweetener until smooth.
- Warm the water-gelatin mixture and mix it with the jam until combined.
- Layer the mixtures in glasses or a mold and chill for 3-4 hours until set.
Tips
- Never boil the gelatin mixtures — high heat destroys its setting power.
- Any jam works beautifully; raspberry or cherry are especially good.
- Chill for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight for the firmest set.
