Coffee jelly, beverage edition
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieThe coffee jelly, dessert version, was posted three and a half years ago. Here is the beverage version. It was a very hot day, what can I say? I wanted coffee but the thought of drinking something hot just didn’t appeal to me. Neither did the thought of all that sugar in the usual iced coffee concoctions. A glass of coffee jelly drink is cold, refreshing, definitely not boring, and sweet but only slightly so.
Serves 3.
Ingredients:
1 box of almond-flavored gelatin (I used Alsa)
3 tbsps. of very strong brewed coffee (or 3 heaping tsps. of good instant coffee)
3 c. of very cold milk, the pour and drink kind
Prepare the gelatin according to package directions but reduce the amount of water by about 1/5 for a firmer jelly. Stir in the coffee or coffee granules. Pour into a shallow bowl or tray and allow to set.
When firm, cut into one-inch cubes. Chill in a covered container.
Divide the jelly among three tall glasses. Fill glasses with very cold milk. Serve at once.
Notes:
No need to add sugar to the milk; the jelly is sweet enough.
I do not recommend adding ice to the glass since ice will make the milk bland.

when do you put the coffee ms. connie?
Ooops, in the gelatin. Let me edit that.
Hmmm, very good! And very easy to do!
I love coffee jelly! This one is coffee jelly with a twist, something I will try this weekend. Thank you for sharing.
If I use the unflavored alsa gelatin, should I add sugar? If yes, how much sugar?
To taste.
How much sugar can you recommend? TIA!
Follow the dictates of your taste buds.
i used to do this a lot when i was in high school — eons ago — based on a nescafe recipe.
thanks for posting this. reminds me of good times.
reminds me also that it is very doable and that i should do this one weekend for the husband and kids.
Hi Ms. Connie,
Thank you for sharing this… Coffee Jelly is my favourite dessert after having lunch with my officemates at ABS-CBN. Now that I resigned, I can still enjoy coffee jelly because of you.
