Print Recipe

An elegant and easy-to-make dessert featuring creamy panna cotta infused with champagne and a subtle pink hue from berry puree, perfect for special occasions and parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) champagne or sparkling wine (dry or brut)
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh raspberries or strawberries, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of pink food coloring

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 2 ½ teaspoons of unflavored gelatin powder over ¼ cup (60 ml) of cold whole milk. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it swells and absorbs the liquid.
  2. Puree ½ cup of fresh raspberries or strawberries until smooth. Press through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, ¾ cup (180 ml) whole milk (reserve ¼ cup for gelatin), and ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
  4. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved (about 1–2 minutes).
  5. Slowly whisk in 1 cup (240 ml) champagne, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the berry puree until smooth and gently pink.
  6. Divide mixture evenly among 6 small glasses or ramekins, leaving room at the top for garnish.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set and slightly jiggly.
  8. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh berries, mint leaves, or edible flowers.

Notes

Do not boil the cream mixture to avoid curdling. Bloom gelatin properly to prevent lumps and ensure the panna cotta sets perfectly. Add champagne off heat to preserve bubbles. Use a fine mesh strainer for berry puree to avoid seeds. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Optional pink food coloring can enhance color but berry puree usually suffices.
