- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (1/4 oz) unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, divided
Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Glasses: Rinse and pat dry two champagne flute glasses. |
| 2 | Prepare Gelatin Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of champagne with granulated sugar and unflavored gelatin. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin dissolve completely and the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat. |
| 3 | Incorporate Champagne: Pour the gelatin mixture into a heatproof glass or measuring cup. Add the remaining chilled champagne and stir gently to combine. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it just begins to mound on a spoon, about 1 to 2 hours. |
| 4 | Assemble Glasses: Drop a few fresh raspberries into each champagne flute glass. Carefully pour enough of the chilled gelatin mixture into each glass to fill it halfway, taking care not to drip down the sides. |
| 5 | Layer with Berries: Add a few more fresh raspberries into each glass. |
| 6 | Finish Layering: Divide the remaining gelatin mixture evenly between the two glasses. Drop in a couple more raspberries into each glass. |
| 7 | Arrange Berries: Using a fork, gently push some of the raspberries to varying depths within the glasses for a visually appealing presentation. |
| 8 | Chill Until Set: Place the filled champagne flute glasses in the refrigerator and chill until the gelatin is completely set, about 1 to 2 hours. |
Serving
- Once set, serve the Champagne by the Spoonful chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. The combination of sparkling champagne and the burst of fresh raspberries encapsulated in delicate gelatin layers creates a sensation that is as delightful to taste as it is to behold.
Notes
- For a variation, try using different types of berries such as strawberries or blackberries to customize the flavor profile.
- Ensure the gelatin mixture is chilled sufficiently before pouring into the glasses to achieve the desired texture.
