Ingredients
For the Chantilly Cream Layer:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Champagne Gelée:
1 cup champagne (or sparkling wine)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water (for blooming gelatin)
For Garnish:
Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Edible gold sprinkles or star-shaped sprinkles
Instructions
Prepare the Champagne Gelée:
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine champagne and granulated sugar over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture evenly into shooter glasses, filling them halfway. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until set.
Make the Chantilly Cream:
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Transfer the Chantilly cream into a piping bag with a star tip.
Pipe the cream over the set champagne gelée layer in each glass.
Add the Finishing Touch:
Top each shooter with a swirl of whipped cream.
Sprinkle edible gold or star-shaped decorations on top for a festive finish.

Baking Pro Tips
Use Fresh Champagne: Opt for a sparkling wine or champagne with a flavor profile you enjoy, as it will influence the gelée’s taste.
Chill Glasses: Chill the shooter glasses in advance for an extra-refreshing dessert.
Whip Cream Carefully: Overwhipping can lead to grainy cream. Stop as soon as soft peaks form.
Edible Decorations: Gold leaf or sparkly sprinkles elevate the presentation.
