I made the very old fashioned Russian Cream dessert last night

I have lots of ideas for what it could be used for.

2 Cups Sour Cream

2 Cups whipping Cream

1 3/4 cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 envelopes gelatin

3/4 cup water

Stir gelatin into water & let stand until soft. Cook over low heat until clear & dissolved.

In a large bowl, stir sour cream & sugar until sugar dissolves. Do not whip air into it, just stir. Add vanilla and cream. Combine well. Add gelatin & combine well. Pour in oiled pyrex 13x9 pan, or smaller, for thicker square. Chill until set.

Can be cut in squares & served with raspberries, or other fruit.

This could be cut with star or other cookie cutters. Would be pretty as a star with blueberries & strawberries or raspberries for July 4th.

I think this would shine as a cake filling. You could mold it in your round cake pans lined with oiled saran, then turn it out on top of the layers. Would make a nice strawberries & cream cake.

Could also have other flavors. I don't see why you couldn't add melted chocolate to it before chilling.

 
How lovely to be able to cut this in shapes. We leave out the gelatin/water and use it for dipping

strawberries. A third option leaves out the sugar, but serves a bowl of brown sugar nearby. Dip strawberry in brown sugar and then into the sour cream mix. A bit messier.

 
I love the stars idea. easy recipe too. thanks!

and the tip for cake filling sounds really good too.
