Dessert Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Cherry Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cherries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cherries soften and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Dissolve Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. Then, heat gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds until fully dissolved.

  3. 3

    Make Cream Cheese Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue beating until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly fold the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated. Then, gently fold in the cherry mixture, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Spoon the mixture into serving dishes or glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Top with whipped cream before serving and enjoy your Cherry Vanilla Cloud dessert!
