Swedish Cream

I first had this wonderful dessert at a local restaurant.  A few years later a friend of mine worked there and snagged the recipe for me - sorry, I can't divulge my connections.  This is a great dessert for a family get-together, as you can make it ahead of time.  The restaurant actually freezes it. 

2 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 envelope Knox gelatin
1 1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Let sugar and gelatin dissolve in the whipping cream.  Heat slowly over medium heat.  Cool to room temperature.  Whip in sour cream and vanilla.  Pour into individual serving bowls and refridgerate.  Serve plain or with berries (any berry works well, but a combination is great!), and/or almond slices.
