Champagne Jello Shots

By Peggie

A fun way to serve bubbly at your New Year's Eve party. This is a recipe where you want to use $10 champagne- not your $40 bottle. The pineapple Jello has a mild flavor and compliments champagne. If you cannot find strawberries, use frozen or another seasonal fruit. Champagne Jello shots are an unexpected but tasty way to bring in the new year.

Ingredients

• 2 boxes of pineapple jello (4 serving size boxes)
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 2 1/2 cups champagne
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 2 oz. plastic or glass shot glasses (mini champagne flutes would be adorable if you can find them)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix your pineapple jello and boiling water in a medium sized bowl, stirring until jello powder has all dissolved. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Stir in champagne and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until jello has just slightly thickened.

Set aside about 3/4 cup of your jello and champagne mixture for creating the foam top and put it back in the refrigerator.

Pour jello and champagne mixture into your shot glasses, then drop a few sliced berries in each glass.

Refrigerate overnight. Before serving whip your 3/4 cup left over jello until it becomes white and fluffy and resembles foam. Spoon "foam" on top and serve.
