Colorado Creme. Is it a pudding? Is it a mousse? A custard? It’s actually better, it’s a French-style custard that’s cooked stove top and then chilled into a gourmet delight.
Smooth, rich, creamy, classy. I’ve had this recipe bookmarked in my Creme de Colorado Junior League Cookbook for years. I have no idea why it took me so long to give it a try.
It’s easy and it’s delightful. A perfect way to showcase our first Spring berries.
Melting snow, blooming flowers, budding trees and greening grass means spring is here. Everything is coming to life! There is nothing so wonderful as grilling on the deck, enjoying a drink on the patio and soaking in all the new life that surrounds one! And we need a dessert to enjoy all that springy goodness.
Heavy whipping cream is heated stove top with sugar and unflavored gelatin. Simply stir in some vanilla and sour cream, then pour into dessert cups to chill. Top with fresh berries and WOW. A wonderful texture and perfect cream flavor.
And if you love those creamy desserts you won’t want to miss this Butterscotch Pudding Recipe. Decadent I tell you!
