Method

  1. Put the gelatine sheets into a bowl of cold water to soften for a few mins. Put 100ml clementine juice into a small pan and gently heat. When the gelatine feels soft and the juice is just simmering, remove the juice from the heat and squeeze out any excess water from the gelatine sheets. Drop the sheets into the hot juice and swirl to melt. Make sure there are no visible lumps of gelatine before you move onto the next stage.
  2. Stir the hot juice into the rest of the juice with the prosecco, then transfer to a jug. Pour between 6 small glasses. Sit the jellies in a small tray or dish, cover with a sheet of cling film and chill for at least 4 hrs (or up to 48 hrs) until set.
  3. When ready to serve, use a pair of tweezers to carefully put a piece of gold leaf on the surface of each jelly.

    I would like to make this for Christmas but two of my guests ae allergic to orange of any sort. Could you make it with any other fruit?

    I made these last night for a friends birthday - they were delicious! light, zingy and refreshing after quite a heavy meal. Fiona B, these are sort of like jelly bellinis so I'm assuming they would work just as well with peaches, or like a Rossini with raspberries....I think I might try that next time.

    Can you use a vegetarian gelatine for these? If so do you just follow the same process?

    v. easy and prepare ahead! I served with a scoop of clementine sorbet. Whizzed up some clementines with icing sugar and put it through a sieve (it was quite runny). Set it in a tray in the freezer and then once nearly set, forked it through. Delicious, festive and not too heavy after a big meal.

    Stunning pudding. Easy peasy and you get to drink the rest of the prosecco as you juice the clementines!

    Very easy to make, but lacks some flavour and taste. Next time I might replace the prosecco with white grape juice or a sweeter alcohol.

    Found this a bit lacking in flavour. Next time I might add a little mandarin liqueur.

    Loved this dessert, was really delicious with a lovely orange flavour and a fizz from the prosecco. Much lighter than a usual pud, will definitely make again.

    Does anyone know if these stay set for long once out of the fridge?

    I've made this with lemon juice, very refreshing after a big meal. It is a jelly, so it stays set once out of the fridge.

    Hi - I want to make this for Christmas, but I'm staying in the US at the moment and sheet gelatine is very difficult to find. Does anyone know an accurate way to convert sheets to grams of powdered gelatine - I've found lots of different suggestions on the Internet. Thanks

    Very easy to make, but make sure you check the taste of the prosecco and juice mixture before adding the gelatine. Ours was bitter, so the result was a bit disappointing. Might do it with dessert wine or add sugar to sweeten next time.

    OK, but not as nice as I thought it would be. Made for Christmas 2011 and it just wasn't as WOW as I wanted it to be.

    Really didn't like the prosecco with these. If I were to make them again I'd use white grape juice instead.

    Very easy to make and prepare in advance. A welcome alternative to the usual heavy puddings that traditionally follow a big xmas lunch.

    Trialled this last night in prep for a Birthday meal I'm doing this weekend. Not really sure about it to be honest. Very zingy and bubbly but a bit disappointing. Enough to make me decide that I'll still make them at the weekend (super easy) but will have an alternative dessert too.
