Coffee Jelly
10 minutes
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!

- Sprinkle gelatine powder evenly over the water in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Make good strong coffee.
- Add gelatine paste to the 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 2 glasses. Skim off any surface bubbles if you wish. Place them in the fridge and leave to set.
- Serve with cream and syrup.
Tip
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?
Syrup
Syrup can be easily made by mixing ‘1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar’ in a saucepan and cook for a few minutes until slightly thick.
