One of my favourite summer desserts is ‘Coffee Jelly’ which is very popular in Japan. It was quite hot yesterday and I craved it. ‘Coffee Jelly’ is very easy to make. You only need ‘Good Strong Coffee’ and ‘Gelatine’. I recommend to make your Coffee stronger than usual for the Jelly. Cold aromatic ‘Coffee Jelly’ with Cream and Syrup… you really should try it! *Note: You can find the Vegetarian version Coffee Jelly recipe here.
Makes
1 serving
Ingredients
1 teaspoon Gelatine Powder
1 tablespoon Water
200ml Good Strong Coffee
*Note: You may wish to add Sugar to make the Coffee Jelly sweet, OR enjoy unsweetened Coffee Jelly with Syrup.
*Note: The basic ratio of Gelatine Powder to Coffee is 2g to 100ml. Most common Gelatine Powder weighs 4g per teaspoonful. So, for 200ml Coffee, you need 1 teaspoon of Gelatine.
Method
- Sprinkle Gelatine Powder evenly over Water in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Make good strong Coffee. *Note: Add Sugar to suit your taste.
- Add the soaked Gelatine to hot Coffee and mix well. If coffee is not hot enough, Gelatine won’t dissolve. Heat it up in the microwave.
- Pour the jelly mixture into the serving glass. Skim off any surface bubbles if you wish. When cool enough, place it in the fridge and leave to set.
- Enjoy with Cream, and Syrup (if the jelly is not sweetened).
