Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) pink champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
- 2 tablespoons (14 grams) unflavored gelatin, powdered
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) boiling water
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or strawberries, for garnish
- A few sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) boiling water into a heat-safe bowl. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (14 grams) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Add 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar to the hot gelatin mixture. Whisk gently until completely dissolved.
- If using, stir in 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
- Let the gelatin mixture cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes, until thick but still pourable.
- Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) chilled pink champagne into the gelatin mixture. Fold gently with a spatula to combine, avoiding vigorous stirring to keep fizz.
- Divide the mixture evenly among about 8 small serving cups or jars (each about 4 ounces / 120 ml).
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Just before serving, garnish each cup with fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries and a small mint leaf.
Notes
Do not add champagne while gelatin mixture is hot to preserve bubbles. Fold gently to keep fizz. Chill for at least 4 hours for best texture. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling white grape juice or club soda. Bloom gelatin properly to avoid lumps.
