Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) brut or extra dry champagne or sparkling wine
- 3 packets (about 21 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
- About 1/2 teaspoon edible gold flakes
- Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle the 3 packets (about 21 grams) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface and let sit for 5 minutes until gelatin blooms.
- Transfer the bloomed gelatin to a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly until gelatin dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar and slowly add about 1 cup (240 ml) champagne. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
- Carefully whisk the warm gelatin into the champagne mixture. Add the remaining 4 cups (960 ml) champagne and gently mix to combine. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice if desired.
- Arrange silicone molds or mini shot cups on a tray. Pour the champagne mixture evenly into each mold, filling almost to the top.
- Using tweezers or a toothpick, gently place a few edible gold flakes on top of each shot.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- To serve, gently press the bottom of silicone molds to unmold shots or serve plastic cups as is with a small spoon or toothpick.
Notes
Use a good-quality brut champagne for best flavor. Do not boil gelatin to preserve setting ability. If gelatin doesn’t set, reduce champagne by 1/4 cup and replace with sparkling water. Optional lemon juice adds brightness. Silicone molds make unmolding easier. Store refrigerated up to 3 days. For vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder but note texture differences.
