Description

Coffee Jelly is a delightful Japanese dessert featuring smooth cubes of coffee-flavored gelatin mixed with creamy, sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. This easy-to-make treat combines the bitterness of coffee with a rich, creamy texture, perfect for cooling off on warm days or serving as a unique dessert at gatherings.

Ingredients

For the Coffee Jelly

  • 1 tablespoon unflavored non-animal gelatin (approximately 1 envelope)
  • 2 cups brewed coffee (or 3 tablespoons instant coffee dissolved in 2 cups water)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cream Mixture

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (adjust sweetness as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over ¼ cup of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave for about 30 seconds, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved without any lumps.
  2. Make the coffee jelly: In a baking dish or shallow pan, combine the brewed coffee, sugar, and dissolved gelatin mixture. Stir well to fully incorporate the ingredients. Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the jelly to set for 4-5 hours until firm.
  3. Cut the jelly: Once the coffee jelly is set and firm, cut it into small cubes or use cookie cutters for fun shapes as desired.
  4. Mix the dessert: In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and the coffee jelly cubes. Stir gently until everything is evenly mixed and coated.
  5. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the combined mixture for at least 3-4 hours until fully chilled. Optionally, add ice cubes to serve immediately, noting that this will slightly dilute the sweetness.

Notes

  • Use non-animal gelatin or agar-agar for a vegetarian-friendly version.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of condensed milk or sugar to your preference.
  • Instant coffee can be used for convenience, just dissolve it well in hot water before mixing.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the texture will be less rich.
  • Serve chilled or with ice cubes for a refreshing summer dessert.
