Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2.5 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 2 cups brewed coffee (strong)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of water with the gelatin powder. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the brewed coffee and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the saucepan. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a single medium-sized dish and let it cool to room temperature.
Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Before serving, optionally drizzle heavy cream over the set coffee gelatin and garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
