Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the raspberry gelatin powder in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  2. Add thawed frozen raspberries, crushed pineapple (undrained), and cubed ripe bananas to the gelatin mixture.
  3. Refrigerate the fruit and gelatin mixture until it becomes syrupy and thickened, about 30-45 minutes.
  4. While the gelatin chills, place sour cream in a chilled bowl with beaters.
  5. Beat the sour cream until it forms soft peaks, approximately 5 minutes.
  6. Gently fold the whipped sour cream into the thickened gelatin mixture until combined.
  7. Rinse a 2-quart mold with cold water to prevent sticking.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and refrigerate until very firm, at least 4 hours.
  9. To unmold, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in warm water, then invert onto a chilled serving platter.
  10. Garnish with fresh raspberries dipped in lemon juice before serving.

Note

Ingredient Clarification: The original ingredient list was incomplete. Ensure you have 1 can (8 oz) frozen red raspberries, 1 can crushed pineapple (undrained), 2 ripe bananas, and 2 cups dairy sour cream.

Texture Tip: Chilling the bowl and beaters before whipping the sour cream helps it hold its shape better and creates a lighter texture.

Storage: Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The bananas may darken slightly over time, so this is best served within 24 hours for optimal appearance.

Variation: For a dairy-free version, substitute the sour cream with a thick, unsweetened coconut cream or a vegan sour cream alternative.
