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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Let the mixture cool slightly to room temperature.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled champagne mixture in increments, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Before serving, optionally adorn each dessert with a small piece of edible gold leaf and fresh berries for a decorative flourish.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy this decadent, spoonful-by-spoonful experience!
