Dessert of sour cream, prunes and nuts
8 servings
20 minutes
This delicate dessert made of sour cream, prunes, and nuts is a true embodiment of simplicity and sophistication in Russian cuisine. Prunes, known for their rich caramel notes, pair wonderfully with nuts, adding textural depth. Whipped sour cream with powdered sugar creates an airy base that gently envelops each nut-fruit piece. Gelatin gives the dessert its shape while chocolate adds the finishing touch. Historically, this dessert resembles traditional Russian sweets based on dairy products and natural ingredients. It is perfect as a dinner finale without overwhelming the palate and leaving a pleasant sense of lightness. Refreshing, creamy with a nutty crunch—it not only delights the taste but also provides benefits due to its richness in vitamins and trace elements.
