Instead of pouring the coffee jelly into a single square baking dish, divide the mixture between four or six dishes or cups and chill it until it’s set. When you’re ready to serve the coffee jelly, simply top each serving with whipped cream, and you’re done.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 cups brewed coffee, divided
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • milk, sweetened condensed milk or lightly sweetened whipped cream, optional

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons coffee in a small microwave-safe bowl until boiling, 2-3 minutes. Add gelatin; mix to combine until smooth. Add remaining coffee, sugar and gelatin mixture to saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Pour jelly mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish. Chill 5–7 hours or until solidified.
  3. Cut into cubes. Serve with milk, sweetened condensed milk or lightly sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
