Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 375 ml Champagne or sparkling wine
- 3 packets Unflavored gelatin
- 250 ml Water (cold)
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 200 g Mixed fresh fruit (berries, kiwi, mango, grapes, etc.)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Prepare the fruit by washing, peeling (if necessary), and cutting it into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, pour 250 ml of cold water. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat the champagne and granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not boil to preserve the bubbles.
Once the gelatin has bloomed, pour the warm champagne mixture into the gelatin-water mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly to about room temperature, but do not let it set.
Prepare a square or rectangular mold (around 8x8 inches) by lightly greasing it with a neutral oil or lining it with plastic wrap for easy removal.
Pour a small layer of the gelatin mixture into the mold and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to create a base layer.
Arrange the fruit pieces aesthetically on the chilled gelatin layer. Carefully pour the remaining gelatin mixture over the fruit, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged.
Refrigerate the mold for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Once set, gently remove the gelatin dessert from the mold and cut it into 1-inch cubes using a sharp knife.
Serve the champagne-infused fruit cubes chilled, garnished with mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
