Ingredients
Scale
- 750 ml Champagne or Sparkling Wine (dry or semi-dry)
- 3 tablespoons (or 3 packets) Unflavored Gelatin Powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) Water
- ½ cup (100 grams) Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- Optional: Fresh Berries or Edible Gold Flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (or 3 packets) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin blooms and absorbs the water.
- Gently warm the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or over a double boiler until fully dissolved. Stir gently but thoroughly to avoid lumps. Do not boil.
- Stir in ½ cup (100 grams) of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the warm gelatin. Mix until the sugar fully dissolves.
- Let the gelatin mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- Slowly pour 750 ml of chilled champagne or sparkling wine into the cooled gelatin mixture. Fold gently to combine without losing the bubbles.
- Carefully distribute the mixture into small 2-ounce (60 ml) cups or silicone molds. Leave space at the top for garnishes if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until set but still wobbly.
- Just before serving, top with fresh berries or edible gold flakes for garnish.
Notes
Do not pour hot gelatin into champagne to preserve bubbles. Use dry or brut champagne for best flavor balance. Adjust gelatin amount to control firmness. Non-alcoholic version can be made with sparkling white grape juice. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days. Avoid freezing.
