Fruit Cloud Cream

I think all of us are looking for something simple that can dress up our tea time.  This is something that can be made a bit ahead and will go wonderfully with cake – whether it be a store-bought pound cake, from a mix or made from scratch.  Experiment a little to find your favorite flavor combination.

Ingredients:

2.5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (that should equal one packet)

1 cup fruit juice concentrate

2 cups heavy cream

Preparation:

Whip the cream to soft peaks.  Meanwhile, soften the gelatin in 1/4 cup fruit juice concentrate for 5 minutes.  Microwave until the gelatin is dissolved.  Add to the remaining fruit juice concentrate.  While continuing to beat the cream, add the concentrate mixture to the whipping cream.  Spread between cake layers.  Chill.  Yummy!

Note:  Strawberry daiquiri mix or white grape/raspberry are very good with chocolate cake.  Lemon would be good with white cake.
