You Only Need 5 Ingredients for This Quick No-Bake Berry and Cream Cup
Skip the heavy cakes and whip up a light, velvety sweet treat that sets completely in the fridge.
This simple dessert completely saves the day when you want something sweet and creamy without turning on the hot oven. It balances rich, silky sour cream with the bright, zesty pop of fresh raspberries and crunchy bits of chopped chocolate.
Here’s what you need: ⅓ cup of milk, 1¼ teaspoons of unflavored gelatin powder, ¾ cup of light sour cream (10%), 1 ounce of your favorite chocolate, and a small handful (about 1.5 ounces) of fresh raspberries.
To start, pour the milk into a small bowl or measuring cup, sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the top, and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom according to the package instructions.
Gently warm the milk and gelatin mixture — either in a small saucepan over low heat or in short bursts in the microwave — stirring constantly until the gelatin dissolves completely into a smooth liquid. Just make sure you do not let the milk come to a boil.
Pour the light sour cream into a medium mixing bowl, stream in the warm gelatin-milk mixture, and whisk them together vigorously until the base is completely smooth and uniform.
Finely chop your chocolate into small, bite-sized shards. Gently fold the fresh raspberries and chopped chocolate straight into the sour cream mixture with a spatula so you don't crush the berries too much.
Divide the mixture evenly among small dessert cups, ramekins, or glasses. Slide them into the refrigerator and let them chill until the dessert is fully set and firm to the touch. Serve it chilled straight from the fridge.
