Servings: 4
Calories: 80kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups chilled Prosecco sparkling wine, divided
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 8 gelatine sheets
- 1 cup fresh berries, washed - except raspberries - and patted dry
- 2 oranges, peeled, drained and cut into supremes
- 1 cup diced poached quince, drained
Instructions
- Place gelatine leaves in cold water and let soften (bloom). Bring Prosecco wine to a boil with sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust sweetness with more sugar if desired. Squeeze the water out of the gelatine and add to hot Prosecco. Stir until dissolved. Allow cooling to room temperature.
- Place 8 Champagne cups or Martini glasses on a large tray. Divide the berries into the cups. Arrange 2 or 3 orange supremes inside, and divide the poached quince dices over the top.
- Divide Prosecco wine equally among cups, about 1/2 cup per glass. Place the tray in the fridge and chill gelée until firm, about 2 hours.
Tips for Perfect Prosecco Fruit Salad Aspic:
- Bloom Gelatine Properly: Ensure the gelatine sheets are fully softened in cold water before adding them to the warm Prosecco. This step is essential for achieving a smooth, clear aspic.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the Prosecco mixture after dissolving the sugar and gelatine. Depending on the fruit’s natural sweetness, you may want to adjust the sugar level for balance.
- Fruit Selection: Use a mix of fresh, firm fruits that hold their shape well, like berries, orange supremes, or poached quince. Soft fruits, like raspberries, can become mushy in aspic.
- Serve in Glasses: Using Champagne or Martini glasses makes for an elegant presentation, allowing guests to see the layers of fruit and sparkling aspic.
- Chill Thoroughly: Allow enough time for the aspic to set fully in the fridge. Ideally, chill for at least 2 hours, but overnight works as well for a firmer texture.
