Ingredients
For the Swedish Cream:
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups sour cream
For the Berry Compote:
- 4 cups strawberries fresh or frozen
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin about 2 1/2 teaspoons
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Pour the heavy cream and sugar into a sauce pot over medium heat. Stir and watch. Once the cream is almost to a boil, remove from heat and quickly whisk in the gelatin. Then stir in the extracts and salt.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then whisk in the sour cream, one cup at a time.
- Once smooth, pour the mixture into 4-ounce ramekins or plastic cups. (These plastic cups are great for taking to a parties.) Place the cups on a large rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate.
Cup of Yum
For the Berry Compote:
- Remove the stems from the strawberries. Place all the berries, gelatins, sugar and salt in a large sauce pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and allow the mixture to simmer and cook down for 5-10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to crush the berries, for a smoother consistency.
- Allow the berry compote to cool for 10 minutes. Then spoon a layer of berry compote over each Swedish Cream cup and place back in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours. Then cover until ready to serve.
- Garnish each cup with a strawberry rose if desired. (Video tutorial above.)
Notes
- Keep homemade Swedish creme covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
