Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Champagne
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Unflavored powdered gelatin
- 30 ml Cold water
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 sheet Edible gold leaf (optional)
- 50 g Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the powdered gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the champagne and granulated sugar, stirring gently until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil to preserve the champagne's carbonation.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and gently stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm champagne mixture until it's fully dissolved.
Let the mixture cool slightly to room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled champagne mixture in increments, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.
Divide the mixture evenly among serving glasses or small bowls. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, optionally adorn each dessert with a small piece of edible gold leaf and fresh berries for a decorative flourish.
Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent, spoonful-by-spoonful experience!
