Ingredients
- 3 sheets white gelatin
- 100 ml strawberry juice
- 150 ml sparkling wine
- 2 tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
- 4 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 pineapple
- 1 Banana
- 4 tbsp whole, unpeeled almond kernels
Instructions
-
1.
Soak the gelatin in cold water. Warm the strawberry juice gently in a saucepan, squeeze out excess water from the gelatin and dissolve it in the juice—do not boil!
-
2.
Once the mixture starts to set, add the sparkling wine, pour into glasses, and chill until firm.
-
3.
Peel the apples, quarter them, remove cores, and dice finely. In a pot, bring lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil; simmer 5–8 minutes over medium heat, then puree, transfer to a bowl, and let cool.
-
4.
Peel the pineapple, cut out the tough core, and chop into bite‑sized pieces. Peel the banana and slice thinly.
-
5.
Toast the almonds in a dry pan without oil, remove, cool, and pulse finely in a food processor.
-
6.
Spread the apple sauce over the strawberry layer, arrange pineapple chunks and banana slices on top, and sprinkle with toasted almonds before serving.
