You can use champagne to make special desserts like champagne orange jello. You can also use sparkling white wine, which is probably a better idea than using an expensive bottle of bubbly! Champagne adds flavor to dessert recipes and orange jello with champagne, or champagne jelly as it is called in the UK, is one example of how to add flavor and fizz to your jello dessert. Ingredients:
2 cups boiling water |
2 cups chilled champagne |
1/2 cup cold water |
3 packets orange jello, 3 oz each |
1 cup red grapes, halved |
1 can mandarin orange segments, drained |
zest from orange for garnish |
whipped cream to garnish or cream fraiche or mascarpone |
orange whipped cream |
1 cup heavy cream |
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
21/2 teaspoons fresh orange juice |
21/2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar |
11/2 teaspoons orange zest |
