Champagne Parfait

Strawberry Granita

Method

Preparation of Champagne Parfait

1

Prepare the Gelatin

Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until softened. Remove and squeeze out excess water.

2

Melt the White Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the Opalys white chocolate over a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat.

3

Combine Ingredients

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the softened gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Add the hot cream mixture to the melted chocolate, whisking until fully combined.

4

Add Champagne and Vanilla

Stir in the champagne and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring into serving glasses.

5

Chill

Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 2 hours or until set.

Preparation of Strawberry Granita

6

Blend the Ingredients

In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

7

Freeze the Mixture

Pour the strawberry mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Freeze for about 2 hours, scraping with a fork every 30 minutes to create a flaky texture.

Serve the Parfait
