This is an elegant, refreshing dessert -- a cross between a Kir Royale and a gelatin fruit dessert. It'd be great for a summertime celebration or simply at brunch.

Ingredients

Gelatines:

  • 1/4 medium ripe melon such as cantaloupe, honeydew, Crenshaw or watermelon
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 pack unflavored gelatin (1/4 ounce)
  • 2 cups Prosecco or other sparkling wine, fresh or flat
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Whipped cream:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

For the Gelatines: Use a melon baller to portion the melon into small round balls. Divide the melon balls and half the raspberries evenly among 4 tall narrow glasses or dessert cups, about 8 ounces each.

Sprinkle the gelatin over 1 cup of the Prosecco and stir to combine (fresh sparkling wine will bubble up, so do this in a medium bowl with room for froth). Let stand until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.

Toss the remaining raspberries with the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until raspberries break down and sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Pour off about 3 tablespoons of the raspberry juice, and reserve for flavoring the whipped cream.

Add the remaining Prosecco to the berries in the saucepan and heat over medium-low until the berries break up and flavor the wine, about 2 minutes. It's best not to let the wine boil. Stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved, about 1 more minute. Strain and press through a fine mesh strainer to remove any fruit pips. Pour Prosecco gelatin into glasses over the fruit and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

For the Cream: Just before serving whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the reserved raspberry juice. Dollop the cream on top of each set gelatin and serve.

    I made this on a hot summer day, and it was the perfect, light ending to a good meal. It is very easy to do, and it looks like you slaved for hours!
    A few notes: I had extra blueberries in the house, so I added those in (2 layers of each kind of fruit. I also used superfine sugar because it was what I had...I'll definitely try this one again. I'm sure other fruits (peach as a base, perhaps? would also work well.
