Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)
- 3 cups water (for coffee)
- 1 cup instant coffee
- 1 cup sugar
Cream Topping
- 1 cup condensed milk
- 1 cup table cream (or heavy cream)
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 1 minute until the gelatin absorbs the water and blooms.
- Prepare Coffee Base: In a sauce pot, bring 3 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add the instant coffee and sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Combine Gelatin and Coffee: Gradually pour the hot coffee mixture into the bloomed gelatin while stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes to fully dissolve the gelatin.
- Set the Jelly: Transfer the coffee-gelatin mixture into a baking dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
- Mix Cream Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk and table cream until smooth and well blended.
- Cut and Serve: Once the jelly is set, cut it into 1-inch cubes. Top each cube with the sweetened cream mixture.
- Garnish and Chill: Optionally, garnish with whipped cream. Serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- Use heavy cream if table cream is unavailable for richer flavor.
- Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase instant coffee amount slightly.
- Can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated until serving.
- Adjust sugar quantities to taste based on preference.
