A simple yet refined dessert. Coffee is not meant for everyone and coffee jelly still has a strong taste. But in jelly form and with cream it becomes more like a coffee flavored dessert, if that makes sense?
Ingredients
2 C of Coffee
If using Instant Mix make medium roast
Can be either medium or dark roast, just remember dark roast has a much stronger taste
1/2 C of sugar
Can add 1/4 more for a sweeter taste
1 1/2 Tablespoons of powdered gelatin
Toppings: Choose one of the following
Sweet condensed milk
Whipped cream
Sweetened cream
Prep
Gather dry ingredients.
Make coffee right before making the jelly.
Prepare a large baking dish or large shallow bowl to put jelly in.
Have a medium-small pot ready.
Steps
Make your choice of coffee, at least 2 cups worth
Pour the coffee into the pot. Slowly warm up on medium low heat.
Add in the sugar while stirring. Wait until completely dissolved
Then add in the gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved; then turn off the heat and remove from stove.
Pour the mixture into the pan or bowl prepared earlier.
Let is set until cool to the touch. Then put pan in refrigerator (covered with lid or plastic wrap) and let it sit for 1 hour or until completely solid.
Cut up jelly into cubes and serve in bowl. Add toppings and cream and you're done!
*Disclaimer: The jelly will probably set no matter what as long as there is water and enough gelatin. However, really strong coffee and a lot of sugar may make it a little more chewy so keep that in mind.
