Print Recipe

Delicate and sparkling gelatin cups featuring fresh mixed berries suspended in a light champagne-flavored gelatin, perfect for special occasions and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) champagne or sparkling wine, dry or semi-dry
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) mixed fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, sliced strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (14 g) of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until spongy.
  2. Warm the gelatin mixture: Transfer the bloomed gelatin to a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until dissolved completely, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat once clear and smooth.
  3. Add sugar and flavorings: Stir in 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract until sugar dissolves.
  4. Combine with champagne: Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly, then slowly whisk in 1 cup (240 ml) champagne or sparkling wine gently to preserve bubbles.
  5. Prepare the berries: Rinse and pat dry 1 1/2 cups (225 g) mixed fresh berries. Arrange a few berries at the bottom of each serving cup or mold.
  6. Pour the gelatin: Carefully pour the champagne gelatin mixture over the berries in each cup, leaving space at the top.
  7. Chill to set: Refrigerate the cups on a flat tray for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until firm but jiggly.
  8. Serve: Garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint just before serving. Serve chilled.

Notes

Bloom gelatin in cold water to prevent clumps. Heat gelatin mixture gently without boiling. Add champagne slowly to preserve bubbles. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best set. Use drier sparkling wine for firmer set. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling white grape juice. Vegan option: use agar-agar powder with adjusted preparation.
