Make Champagne Desserts at Home: Fun and Delicious Ideas!

Okay, here is my blog post about making champagne desserts:

So, I got this wild idea to mess around with champagne in the kitchen, not just for drinking, you know? I figured, why not try to make some desserts with it? It sounded fancy and fun, and I was totally up for the challenge. I started off pretty basic, thinking about what I could whip up without turning my kitchen into a disaster zone.

Jello Shots, But Classy

First thing that popped into my head was jello. Yeah, jello shots, but like, the classy kind. I grabbed some champagne, some gelatin, and a bit of sugar. I mixed them up and poured that mix into these cute little plastic cups I found in my cupboard. Threw them in the fridge and waited. And you know what? They turned out pretty awesome! They were jiggly, bubbly, and had that nice champagne kick. It was like a party in a cup. I’d definitely make these again for a get-together.

Boozy Brunch Idea

Then, I remembered someone mentioned something about Mimosa Floats. Sounded intriguing, right? So, I scooped some orange sherbet into a glass, filled it up with champagne, and topped it off with a little orange slice. Boom! It was like the best parts of a mimosa and a dessert combined. The sherbet melted a bit into the champagne, making this creamy, fizzy, delightful drink. I could see myself sipping on this on a lazy Sunday morning.

Donuts, But Make Them Champagne

Now, I wanted something more solid, something I could really sink my teeth into. I love baking, so I thought, why not try some champagne donuts? I found a simple vegan donut recipe online, tweaked it a bit by adding some champagne into the batter, and used some of the champagne to make a glaze, too. I baked them, glazed them, and oh boy, they were good. Soft, a bit boozy, and just sweet enough. They tasted like a celebration. I even sprinkled some edible glitter on top because, why not?

The Grand Finale: Champagne Cake

Finally, I went all out and baked a Funfetti cake, but with a twist. I used champagne instead of water in the batter. Baking it was a bit of a nail-biter; I wasn’t sure how it’d turn out. But when I took that cake out of the oven, it smelled amazing. It rose nicely, and it was fluffy as a cloud. I whipped up a simple buttercream frosting, added a splash of champagne to that, too, and frosted the cake. Cutting into it, the cake was moist, it had a subtle champagne flavor, and the frosting just complemented it perfectly. It’s safe to say, I was pretty proud of this one. And yes, I did share it with my kids – the alcohol bakes off, so it’s all good.
