Note

Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Ingredient Substitution: If you do not have almond extract, you can use additional vanilla extract, though the flavor profile will change slightly.

Texture Tip: Ensure the cream mixture cools sufficiently before adding the sour cream to prevent curdling, but not so long that the gelatin begins to set.

Serving Suggestion: Garnish with a fresh mint leaf or a whole raspberry for an elegant presentation.
