A delicate, airy mousse made with pink champagne and whipped cream, perfect for elegant occasions and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) pink champagne, chilled (brut or demi-sec)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (about 2.5 grams) gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: fresh raspberries or edible rose petals for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Gently warm the bloomed gelatin in a small saucepan over low heat just until dissolved (about 15-20 seconds). Do not boil. Set aside to cool slightly but keep liquid.
  3. Pour 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Slowly drizzle the warm gelatin into the whipped cream while gently folding with a spatula to keep mousse airy.
  5. Gradually fold in 1 cup of chilled pink champagne into the cream mixture, maintaining bubbles and pink hue.
  6. Spoon mousse into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set but still jiggly.
  7. Garnish with fresh raspberries or edible rose petals before serving.

Notes

Keep bowls and beaters chilled for better whipping. Bloom gelatin properly and warm gently without boiling. Fold ingredients slowly to maintain airiness. Use fresh champagne for best fizz. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to set. Avoid freezing. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and agar-agar.
