Russian Cream Parfait

We made this for Easter dessert. It was so good!

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10 oz) package frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
fresh raspberries and mint springs (optional)

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water, let stand 1 min. Bring to boil, cook and stir until dissolved. Remove and set aside.

In another saucepan, hear whipping cream and sugar over med. heat until sugar dissolves and mix is lukewarm. Remove; stir in gelatin mixture until completely dissolved. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Stir in sour cream and vanilla. In each of four parfait glasses, place 1/4 cupful of cream mixture (it's still liquid, don't worry it will harden) top each with rounded TBS. of raspberries. Repeat layers. Top with cream mix and cover and refrigerate 3 hours. Garnish with raspberries and mint if desired. Makes 4
