Ingredients

1 package Raspberry gelatin (6 oz.)
1 cup Boiling water
2 package Oz packages of frozen

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.
