Description

A refreshing and elegant Strawberry Cream Mimosa recipe combining the natural sweetness of raspberries and strawberries with creamy half-and-half and sparkling champagne. This delightful drink is perfect for brunches, celebrations, or any special occasion, offering a fruity twist on the classic mimosa with a creamy frozen element.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

  • 24 oz frozen raspberries
  • 1½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
  • ¾ cup sugar (or 6–7 packets Sweet’N Low)
  • 1 tbsp honey

Cream Mixture

  • 1 cup half and half cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Serving

  • 2 bottles sparkling champagne (alternatives: sparkling white wine or prosecco)

Instructions

  1. Cook Berries: In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, add the frozen raspberries and diced or frozen strawberries. Let the berries soften and become soupy, cooking for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  2. Add Sweetener: Stir in the sugar or sweetener packets to the berry mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness depending on the natural sweetness of the berries.
  3. Add Honey and Heat: Mix in the honey thoroughly, then continue heating the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine all flavors.
  4. Cool Fruit Puree: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the berry mixture sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
  5. Puree Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.
  6. Strain Berries: Pour the puree through a fine mesh strainer or colander set over a measuring cup to separate seeds from the liquid. Tap the strainer gently to extract as much liquid as possible, working in batches.
  7. Extract Additional Liquid: Run a bit of the half and half cream through the strainer with the seeds to extract any remaining raspberry juice. Collect and combine this liquid with the strained berry juice.
  8. Combine Cream and Flavor: Pour the remainder of the half and half cream into the strained berry liquid. Add the vanilla extract and stir well to combine the creamy mixture.
  9. Freeze Cream Mixture: Pour the combined cream and berry mixture into an ice cube tray or plastic bowl. Freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
  10. Serve Mimosa: To serve, pour sparkling champagne into glasses and add the frozen berry cream cubes. Enjoy immediately for a chilled, creamy mimosa experience.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic option, substitute sparkling champagne with sparkling grape juice or club soda.
  • Adjust sweetness according to the natural tartness of the berries and personal preference.
  • Freezing the cream mixture into cubes allows the drink to stay cold without diluting the flavor.
  • Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability without compromising flavor.
  • Make sure to strain thoroughly to avoid berry seeds in the finished drink.
