Number Of Ingredients 8

1.50 c heavy cream
3/4 c sugar
1.50 t unflavored gelatin
1 c sour cream
2 t vanilla extract
1.50 c seedless red raspberry preserves
1 T lemon juice
Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the cream: In small saucepan, heat cream and sugar on medium, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • In another small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water and let stand 5 minutes to soften. Heat on medium until gelatin dissolves, stirring. Stir gelatin mixture into cream mixture. Transfer to medium bowl, then stir in sour cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until mixture thickens to consistency of yogurt, about 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Prepare the raspberry sauce: In small saucepan on medium, heat preserves and lemon juice until hot. Press through fine-mesh sieve into small bowl; cool completely.
  • Layer cream mixture and raspberry sauce in 6 parfait or martini glasses or wineglasses. Cover each with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Top with fresh raspberries before serving.
