Nothing slutty about this parfait of congealed champagne (though allegedly remnant of the previous night’s shindig) and fuzzy fruit fragments, I assure everyone. Very high-rent looking and chase, in fact fit as an accurate high-altitude barometer of social status even if served from a plastic charger and sans the requisite sterling parfait spoon. Unseriously speaking though, I somehow excuse that word coming from a Limbaugh rant but just too too suggestive when used in the same line with Nigella.

Nigella’s Slut Red Raspberries in Chardonnay Jelly is far more maarte but absolutely delicious all the same especially with a dollop of vanillabean double cream. Josephine is right about the layering technique. In my case, I simply wanted the raspberries to stay at the bottom of the martini glass and the top half of the jelly to remain chardonnay in colour and without a bumpy surface.

First time I was able to access your site, MM. Was not able to for the last 2 days.

First thought upon seeing the refreshing pic.: “Oh, chunky bellini, Niceeeee… ”
But a maarte “(spoonable?)jello-shot” is just as wonderful. :D

What a wonderful guilt-eraser! I’ve always winced at the prospect of sending good champagne down the drain after NYE! Maarte or not, I’m trying it. In fact, I embrace kaartehan!

makes a nice layer or topping as well for panna cotta…flavour the panna cotta with a touch of mango or peach purée….that is if you don’t have enough bubbly for 2 and need a chi chi dessert for 6 in square short glasses.

Leftover bubbly is also rare in my house, but if you want the fruit all the way through your jelly (and it does look prettier) just do layering. Place some liquid and fruit in the glass, say a third of total, place in fridge till partially set, then continue on.
