Proseco and Fruit Gelatin

Submitted by Gone Fishin

"This recipe came from Giada De Laurentiis. I have yet to find one of her recipes that was a bust. I did find however find that I needed to add an additional packet of plain gelatin. I also do not care for mascarpone cheese, so I made fresh whipped cream. My neighbors loved this one."

ingredients

• 1 (6 ounce) package raspberry gelatin powder
