Ingredients
One prepared shortbread crustcan substitute graham cracker crust, or use your own homemade shortbread crust recipe
1teaspoon(1 envelope) unflavored gelatin
3Tablespoonscold water
1cupheavy whipping cream
1/2cupfull-fat sour cream
1/2cupconfectioners' sugar
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1cupfresh raspberrieshalved if large
1cupfresh blackberrieshalved if large
Zest of one small lemonabout 2-3 teaspoons
Fresh whipped cream and more berries for garnish
Instructions
Add the gelatin and cold water to a small saucepan off the heat. Let stand until solid, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool for just a few minutes - gelatin should still be liquidy.
Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream, sour cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until soft peaks form. Stream in the melted gelatin liquid and beat until low speed until combined. Fold in the berries and lemon zest.
Spread the filling into the pie crust and smooth out the top. Cover loosely and refrigerate until set, about 3-4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, garnish with more fresh whipped cream and berries, if desired.
