RECIPE: Anyone remember this? Russian Cream

I'd forgotten all about this one. I use to make it all the time around 15-20 years ago. First time I served it at a dinner party, one wag said "Oh good, a bowl of lard." He sure ate all of it though.

RUSSIAN CREAM (serves 8)

2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half

1 cup sugar

2 tsp unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup cold water

2 cups sour cream

In a small saucepan over medium high heat combine cream & sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.

In a glass measuring cup stir together gelatin & water until gelatin has softened. Pour into cream mixture & stir over medium heat until gelatin is fully dissolved (if you rub a bit between your fingers, you shouldn't feel the gelatin grains.) Pour into a serving bowl or mold & refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.~~

I served it with fresh strawberries but fresh peach slices would be excellent. I think it was also called by some other nationalities, too.
