Prosecco Gelatin Parfait

Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 8 Min
Serves: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle Prosecco (750 ml)
  • 3/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 (1/4-ounce) packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 pint mascarpone, room temperature

 Method:

 

Step 1:

 

Put the Prosecco, 1/2 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to burn off some of the alcohol.

 

 

Step 2:

 

Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the gelatin until completely dissolved. Pour into a 9 by 11-inch baking dish, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to set up for at least 4 hours.

 

Step 3:

 

In a large bowl, whip the cream to medium stiff peaks. In another bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup sugar into the mascarpone until smooth. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the mascarpone to lighten, and then fold in the remaining whipped cream.

 

Step 4:

 

Cut the Prosecco gelatin into 1 by 1-inch cubes and put a layer into the bottoms of 4 parfait glasses. Divide 1/2 of the cream mixture among the glasses on top of the gelatin, and then repeat with 2 more layers, ending with a final dollop of the cream.

 

Step 5:

 Serve with a long spoon and dig in!
