Coffee Jelly Recipe for DIYers

Ingredients to prepare:

2 cups coffee (espresso or your preferred coffee)
1 tablespoon konjac, agar-agar powder or gelatin (vegetarian option: use konjac or agar-agar)
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup cold water
Optional: Sweetened condensed milk or fresh cream for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coffee

Start by brewing your coffee. You can use a strong espresso for a richer flavor or your regular coffee for a milder taste. If you like your coffee sweetened, add sugar while it’s still hot, so it dissolves easily.

2. Dissolve the Konjac, Agar-Agar or Gelatin

In a small bowl, mix the konjac or agar-agar powder with cold water. Stir well to dissolve the powder. If you’re using gelatin, bloom it by soaking it in a small amount of cold water for about 5 minutes.

3. Combine and Heat

Add the coffee to a medium-sized saucepan, then pour in the agar-agar mixture. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat while stirring constantly to ensure the agar dissolves completely. Keep the mixture simmering for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

4. Pour and Set

Pour the coffee-agar mixture into a shallow dish or individual molds. Let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill until it sets firmly.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Once the coffee jelly has set, cut it into cubes or simply scoop it out with a spoon. For a more indulgent treat, top it with sweetened condensed milk or a drizzle of fresh cream for that classic coffee dessert experience.
