Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) champagne or sparkling wine, chilled (dry or brut style recommended)
- 3 tablespoons (21 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
- ¼ cup (50 grams) sugar (fine granulated or superfine)
- A pinch or two of edible gold glitter (food-safe, non-toxic)
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, or pomegranate seeds)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Pour ½ cup (120 ml) cold water into a mixing bowl, sprinkle 3 tablespoons (21 grams) unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) champagne, ¼ cup (50 grams) sugar, and optional 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and gelatin dissolve completely. Do not boil — simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes until warm and smooth.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm champagne mixture and whisk until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Stir in a pinch or two of edible gold glitter, mixing gently so it’s evenly suspended but not clumped.
- Arrange your shot glasses or silicone molds on a tray for easy transport to the fridge.
- Place 2-3 fresh berries (raspberries and blueberries) into the bottom of each cup.
- Carefully pour the champagne-gelatin mixture over the berries in each shot glass, filling to about ¾ full. Leave a little space at the top to avoid spills.
- Refrigerate the tray for at least 4 hours or until firm. Overnight chilling is best for a clean, firm set.
- When ready, sprinkle a tiny bit more edible gold glitter on top for extra sparkle, and serve cold straight from the fridge.
