Preparation
Step 1
How do you make a no-bake soufflé with gelatin and sour cream? Very easily! First, prepare the ingredients from the list. You can use sour cream of any fat content, but not too watery. Fillings can be made from many different berries and fruits. I made 4 kinds: vanilla, cocoa, strawberry purée, and black currant purée.
Step 2
How do you make berry purée? Put fresh or frozen berries into a small saucepan. Add 2 Tbsp water. Set over low heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the berries soften. Then rub the purée through a sieve to remove seeds. You can make this purée ahead of time, or replace it with ready homemade or store-bought jam/preserves.
Step 3
Add sugar to the sour cream, mix, and leave for 10 minutes until the sugar crystals dissolve completely.
Step 4
Soak the gelatin in 100 ml (about ⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp) drinking water. Then, stirring, dissolve it over low heat or in the microwave until fully melted. Do not boil.
Step 5
Divide the sour cream mixture into 4 equal parts. Add vanilla sugar to one part, cocoa to the second, strawberry purée to the third, and black currant purée to the fourth. Also divide the hot gelatin into 4 equal parts. While stirring quickly and constantly, pour each portion of gelatin in a thin stream into its sour cream mixture.
Step 6
Pour the mixtures into a mold or dessert cups and refrigerate for 4 hours until fully set. It’s best to work with each portion separately and, after adding gelatin, pour it into molds right away, because the mixture sets quickly.
Step 7
Pour the mixtures into a mold or dessert cups and refrigerate for 4 hours until fully set. It’s best to work with each portion separately and, after adding gelatin, pour it into molds right away, because the mixture sets quickly.
