Happy #SundaySupper!
The #SundaySupper group is cookin’ with wine this week. Exciting, right? I was beyond excited when I first found out about this week’s theme. What? I get to cook with my favorite alcoholic beverage? Yippeeeee!
We teamed up with Schlossadler Wines this week for our wine themed #SundaySupper. They have every type of wine you can imagine, from sparkling to deep crimson red to crisp white. There’s a bottle of wine for every type of wino. I could spend hours on their website, perusing the different types of wine and the region of the grapes.
My favorite wine is the bubbly kind, also known as champagne or sparkling wine. I love the stuff! The bubbles create that classic fizziness that goes straight to my head.
Because I have an affinity for champagne, I decided to put a twist on the classic champagne and strawberry combination. I made a strawberry-pink champagne sorbet.
I took a chance with this recipe and wasn’t sure it was even going to turn out, but it did, and it’s delicious. I literally hovered over the ice cream maker, watching intently (brows furrowed intent) as the syrupy mixture spun around in the bowl, coaxing it in a pleading voice, “Please work. Oh pretty, pretty please!” When I saw that it was, indeed, churning up properly, I let out the breath that I’d been holding the entire time.
I never leave room for error, and that has to change.
This sorbet is for adults only. Let me repeat that… Adults Only! The champagne doesn’t actually get cooked long enough to cook out the alcohol, which is what I love about this sorbet. My mom ate a bowl of this last night and had a little buzz going.
Having a cocktail party, adults-only party, girls movie night? Make this sorbet. I promise, your guests will love it.
Enjoy your #SundaySupper around the family table with your loved ones.

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
That is one stunning twist, this looks absolutely beautiful and refreshing
Lovely colour too!
Cheers

P.S. I have lost 60-70 followers and I don’t even know how so if you had subscribed before, it would be great if you could check and if possible, resubscribe – thanks!
Thanks, Uru! Oh no, you lost some subscribers; that’s awful. of course I’ll resubscribe.
That is so pretty! I bet it is the perfect girls’ night in treat
Yum, a perfect way to use some wine! And so pretty too!
I’ll join you for that glass of bubbly! How can a girl not love that stuff? Also, so perfect for a sorbet, this looks fantastic and I bet it tasted just a good as it looks.
Wow Jennie, this looks amazing! I don’t know if I’d have the willpower to even try to take such amazing pictures! (as if I could)
This is just gorgeous and would be perfect here in Florida. Beautiful photography!
Just perfect for any party! Beautiful presentation!
Ha! I giggled at the buzzed mama!
I am SO trying this. Delish!
The perfect way to end the summer, with strawberries and champagne! Stunning sorbet! Have a great sunday
This looks so easy. I need to hurry up and make it before the strawberry season is over. Thanks for sharing!
Shut. Up. I have some strawberry champagne sauce that would go perfectly with this. Pinning it!
Sounds like an awesome summer treat!!
Thanks for sharing.
YUM! I just made a peach sorbet with white wine and it was so good. Now I’m going to have to try this strawberry version with champagne-I bet the champagne really adds to it!
Jennie, that looks lovely! I would so enjoy this sorbet! Great job!
Count me in for that girls night cocktail party
This is so beautiful and I so badly want to taste it!! Gorgeous photos…so incredibly tempting.
Ha ha ha! I don’t leave much room for error, either! This sorbet looks extraordinary!
Great minds think alike! I was babysitting the oven making my macarons too. I was experimenting with the recipe and I wasn’t sure how it was going to work out. Your sorbet look so refreshing. I’m puckering my face as I write this!
I made a blackberry sparkling wine sorbet! There really is a strong alcohol content with these desserts. It looks so pretty, too!
i totally missed out on yesterday’s #sundaysupper. I had actually been looking forward to it. your strawberry champagne looks amazing and I LOVE how easy the recipe is! Great post, Jennie!
What a fabulous idea, especially for a ladies’ night at home, or a book club meeting. my friends would be so excited to eat this! oh + i totally know what you mean about standing over the ice cream machine, furrowing your brow + saying, ‘please work, please work.’ i do stuff like that all the time when i try a new recipe. luckily, it almost always does work out great, like this did! =)
this is just gorgeous! i love the color and i bet it tastes absolutely fantastic! love it!
hahahaaaaaaaaa
I love the idea of a bunch of girls getting drunk off sorbet, hilarious
It’s so pretttty!
I love it. Cocktails and dessert all in one!
This looks incredible! And a perfect way to cool off in this heat!
haha omygosh I love that your mom got buzzed off your sorbet! Sold. I’m sooo making this for the weekend, would be so fun to have with the girls before we head out Saturday night! And I’m sucker for anything pink….
I am obsessed with champagne. Love the idea of being able to eat my bubbly! THIS has to be made in my house soon.
Can’t say no to a glass of bubbly with strawberries in it, definitely won’t say no to this gorgeous sorbet – esp. when there’s a promise of a little buzz from it!! Perfect for a girls night in with a rom-com.
p/s: I have the exact same Anthropologie bowls!!!
