Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry or brut champagne
- 3 tablespoons (21 grams) gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water
- 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons (21 grams) of gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it swells and absorbs the water.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar with 1/2 cup (120 ml) water. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat but keep warm.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm sugar syrup and whisk gently until fully dissolved.
- Slowly pour in 1 bottle (750 ml) of chilled champagne and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to stir too vigorously to keep some bubbles intact.
- Divide 1 1/2 cups fresh berries evenly among your serving glasses or ramekins.
- Carefully pour the champagne mixture over the berries in each glass. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
- Once set, garnish with a few extra fresh berries or a sprig of mint if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Bloom gelatin properly to avoid lumps. Stir champagne gently to preserve bubbles. Place berries in glasses before pouring jelly mixture to keep them intact. Chill jelly for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. If jelly doesn’t set, reduce champagne by 1/4 cup and replace with water next time.
