A rich, velvety gravy infused with champagne and edible glitter for a festive and elegant holiday touch. Perfect for elevating your holiday table and impressing your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240 ml) champagne
  • 2 cups (480 ml) chicken or vegetable stock
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon edible glitter (optional)
  • 1 finely diced shallot

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Shallots: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons (30 g) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 finely diced shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Make the Roux: Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons (15 g) of all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  3. Add the Champagne: Slowly pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of champagne, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 2 minutes to let the alcohol cook off slightly.
  4. Add Stock and Cream: Gradually add 2 cups (480 ml) of chicken or vegetable stock and ½ cup (120 ml) of heavy cream. Whisk until fully combined.
  5. Season and Simmer: Add 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  6. Optional Glitter: Stir in ½ teaspoon of edible glitter for a festive sparkle. Start with a small amount and add more to your liking.
  7. Strain (Optional): For a velvety texture, strain the gravy through a fine mesh strainer before serving.
  8. Serve Warm: Ladle the gravy into a serving dish and enjoy with turkey, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables!

Notes

[‘Use room temperature champagne for smoother blending.’, ‘Don’t skip the roux—it’s essential for a rich, thick gravy.’, ‘Add edible glitter sparingly for the best visual effect.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘If the gravy is too thick, whisk in a splash of extra stock or cream. If too thin, simmer longer.’]
