Ingredients

  • 1 cup raspberries 2 cups heavy cream 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 3 cups champagne, chilled

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until they become soft and release their juices. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to create a raspberry syrup, discarding the solids.
  2. In another saucepan, combine the heavy cream, remaining granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until it begins to steam but not boil. Remove from heat, add cocoa powder, and whisk until fully incorporated. Allow it to cool.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the raspberry syrup and chilled champagne. Add the cooled chocolate cream to the mixture and stir gently to combine.
  4. Pour the Elysian Dream into glasses and serve immediately, garnished with fresh raspberries on top for an unforgettable experience.
