Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) Pink Moscato Wine (semi-sweet, e.g., Barefoot or Cupcake)
- 3 tablespoons (approx. 21 grams) Unflavored Gelatin Powder (e.g., Knox)
- ½ cup (120 ml) Cold Water
- ¼ cup (50 grams) Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
- ½ cup Fresh Strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup Fresh Raspberries
- ½ cup Fresh Blueberries (optional)
- Small handful Mint Leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of cold water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (21 grams) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the water and blooms, looking spongy and thick.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of pink Moscato and ¼ cup (50 grams) of granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely (about 3-4 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm Moscato mixture, whisking until the gelatin is fully dissolved—no lumps, silky smooth. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fresh lemon juice and stir well.
- Arrange slices of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries (if using) at the bottom of each mold or evenly spread across a shallow pan.
- Pour the gelatin mixture gently over the fruit, filling each mold or pan evenly.
- Transfer the molds or pan to the refrigerator. Let the jello shots set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm yet tender.
- Once set, pop the jello shots out of the molds or cut into cubes if using a pan. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Notes
Bloom gelatin properly in cold water before adding to warm liquid to avoid lumps. Do not boil the wine mixture to preserve delicate aromas. Use fresh berries for best texture and appearance. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for perfect set. Strain gelatin mixture if cloudy or lumpy. Avoid stirring fruit into gelatin to keep fresh fruit visually appealing at the bottom or top.
