What a decorative wine recipe in the form of a fruity cocktail champagne jello shots to ring in the New Year!
Ingredients
Scant 4 cups of rosé, sparkling rosé or sparkling white wine, prosecco or dry champagne, at room temp not chilled (pick a sweet wine, even a cheep bottle will do. (I used rosé, for kid friendly you can use white grape juice, peach juice or mango juice)
2 pouches/ 2 tbsp of gelatin (flavorless from baking section)
1 can of sliced peaches in syrup
1.5 tbsp sugar or few natural flavoured stevia drops, I use the raspberry one for when I make frozen berry jello (if using frozen fruit you will want to use fully hot water as the cold fruit will lower the overall water temperature and affect the gelatin).
For the orange infused coconut whipped cream (optional but recommended):
one can of coconut cream, chilled at least 4 hours or frozen coconut whip or spray can coconut whip (the frozen kind melts so add just before serving)
few drops orange oil
grated orange zest
sugar to taste (make it sweet as the wine is not overly sweet)
Directions
Tip: use a sweet wine and add enough peach syrup and sugar as it will be more sour after setting.
cover the gelatin in 4 tbsp of water and let it bloom 5 minutes.
Place 1 1/3 cup of the wine and several spoonfuls of the syrup from the canned peaches, as well as the sugar in a sauce pan over very low heat. (if your wine was chilled then warm it all so its no longer cold before adding gelatin). stir in bloomed gelatin. warm for 2-3 minutes until gelatin and sugar dissolves fully, stirring often down to the bottom. it should be pretty hot, but never come to a boil, and there should be no clumps of gelatin. pour the remaining wine into a measuring jug and pour the hot wine over it, stirring. make it a little sweeter than you like it as it becomes less sweet after setting.
place peach slices and raspberries into martini glasses or cocktail glasses or wine glasses and pour the wine over top. cover top of the glass with seran wrap and let chill for at least 4 hours or until set-when you gently jiggle the glass it should not budge at all.
to make the coconut whip, scoop out only the top cream part of the coconut, and place in mixing bowl. beat with hand mixer for a couple of minutes til fluffy and clump free, adding a few drops of orange oil, sugar and grated orange zest part way through. place dollops of whip onto the set jello cups and garnish with orange zest. of course if using ready whip you can skip the beating steps and sugar.
