Dreamy Russian Cream Dessert

"A traditional Russian dessert that has been claimed to be food of the gods. The trick is to get the gelatin as hot as you can so as to dissolve completely, so that when it hits the cold sour cream it remains lump-free. Work quickly! Cook time includes chill time."

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
