Coffee Gelatin Dessert, often known as Coffee Jelly, is a popular Japanese-inspired dessert made by setting sweetened coffee with gelatin into a firm jelly, then serving it chilled, usually cut into cubes. It’s a refreshing, slightly bitter-sweet treat that balances the robust flavor of coffee with a smooth, jiggly texture.
