One of my favourite summer desserts is ‘Coffee Jelly’ which is very popular in Japan. It was quite hot yesterday and I had a craving for it. It is very easy to make. You just need ‘good strong coffee’ and ‘gelatine’. I recommend to make your coffer stronger than usual for the jelly. Icy cold aromatic ‘Coffee Jelly’ with cream and syrup… you really should try it!
Makes
2 servings
Ingredients
Good Strong Coffee 400ml
Gelatine Powder 2 teaspoons
Water 2 tablespoons
Tips
The basic ratio of gelatine powder to liquid is 2g to 100ml. Most common gelatine powder weighs 4g per teaspoonful. So, for 1 coffee-cup of coffee (200ml), you need 1 teaspoon of gelatine. It’ s easy to remember, isn’t it?
Method
- Sprinkle Gelatine Powder evenly over 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Make good strong coffee.
- Add Gelatine paste to hot coffee and mix well. If coffee is not hot, you need to heat the paste in a microwave for 10 second or until it turns to liquid, then add it to the coffee.
- Pour jelly mixture into glasses. Skim off any surface bubbles if you wish. Place them in the fridge and leave to set.
- Serve with cream and syrup. *Syrup can be easily made by mixing ‘1/2 cup water & 1/4 cup sugar’ in a saucepan and cook for a few minutes until slightly thick.
