A dazzling, retro-inspired dessert featuring fresh strawberries and sparkling champagne set in a shimmering jello mold. Perfect for elegant parties, brunches, or family gatherings, this easy recipe delivers a sophisticated twist on classic gelatin treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 envelopes (14 g) unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup champagne or sparkling wine (dry preferred)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree (blend some of the sliced berries)
  • Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
  • Additional fresh strawberries, halved or sliced (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Pour boiling water over the bloomed gelatin and whisk gently until fully dissolved.
  3. Add granulated sugar and whisk until clear and smooth.
  4. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, then stir in champagne and lemon juice slowly to minimize foaming.
  5. Hull and slice strawberries. Set aside half for layering. Blend the remaining half with water to make strawberry puree.
  6. Stir strawberry puree into the gelatin-champagne mixture until evenly blended.
  7. Lightly grease your jello mold with neutral oil (optional). Arrange sliced strawberries in the bottom of the mold.
  8. Pour half of the gelatin mixture over the berries. Chill for 30 minutes to set a soft layer.
  9. Pour the remaining gelatin mixture over the first layer. Add more berries if desired. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. To unmold, dip the mold in warm water for 10-15 seconds, place a plate over the mold, and invert quickly but gently.
  11. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, and mint leaves before serving.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling cider or ginger ale. Use ripe, in-season strawberries for best flavor. Chill overnight for optimal texture and flavor. To unmold easily, use a quick dip in warm water and gently invert. For vegan adaptation, use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
