In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

5

Gently fold in fruit puree into the whipped cream until well combined.

6

Add the dissolved gelatin mixture to the cream and fold gently to incorporate without deflating the cream.

Fill the center with the cream mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
