Almond-Lime Bavarian

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 pkg Knox unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup HOT water
• 1 cup Half & Half
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 1 tsp. lime juice fresh
• Zest from one lime-use a fine zester and get only the green part!
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• Berries or other cut up fruit of your choice-peaches, kiwi, passionfruit-marinated for 30 min in 1/2cup of Sweet Caroline.

Steps

1. Mix sugar and gelatin in small sauce pan, then add hot water and let stand for 5 minutes (off heat). Then bring to a full boil while stirring occasionally, remove from heat and gradually add the half & half, stirring all the time.
2. In a separate bowl mix the sour cream, lime juice and zest and almond extract. Gradually stir in the gelatin-sugar-cream mixture from step 1. Do this fairly quickly but do not beat it hard or you will get bubbles in the final gelatin setting. Pour into lightly greased 3-cup mold (I use cooking spray even on Tupperware). Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow gelatin to set.
3. Just before serving, flip mold over onto a pretty plate to release it. Garnish with mint sprig and berries, kiwis, cut up peaches, passion fruit...your choice!
