Pink Champagne Jello Recipe


Pink Champagne & Red Berries Jello Recipe - BirdsParty.com

As part of my Valentine's Dinner party menu that I shared in my previous post (here); I'm serving pink champagne jello with red berries and cream.

Something about jello that evokes 'fun', don't you think? Maybe it's because it's a dessert we associate with kids, and therefore takes us back to our childhood days. 

But for a grown-up update on this favorite classic, I added pink champagne and red berries. Which makes a super tasty, not to mention pretty in pink dessert for Valentine's Day! :)

And anything pink gets my vote! ♥

This recipe happens to be low fat and is super easy to make. You can also make it a couple of days in advance of your dinner party. It's not your sickly sweet jello, and you really can taste the champagne in it! Woo-Hoo! :)

3) Take out the gelatin leaves from the champagne and squeeze them between your hands to get rid of excess water, then place them in the hot water and sugar syrup. Whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
