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.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 3 (.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 cups hot brewed coffee
- 1 ⅓ cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup sweetened whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
Steps:
- In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and gelatin. Mix in hot coffee and water. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently until the gelatin and sugar have completely dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Pour into a 4 1/2 cup mold. Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve with whipped cream.
