- **For Coffee Jelly:**
- 1 packet (about 7g or 1 oz box) unflavored gelatin (Knox)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 3/4 cup hot strong brewed coffee or 3 tbsp instant coffee + 3/4 cup hot water
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
-
- **For Iced Latte:**
- 1 cup chilled brewed coffee or espresso
- 1 cup milk of choice (oat, almond, dairy)
- 2–3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk or simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Whipped cream for topping
- 1. **Make Coffee Jelly:** Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a bowl; let bloom 1 minute. Boil 3/4 cup strong coffee with sugar until dissolved. Pour hot coffee into bloomed gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved.
- 2. Pour mixture into a shallow dish or individual cups. Refrigerate 2-6 hours until set. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes if using a dish.
- 3. **Assemble Cups:** Divide jelly cubes into 2-4 clear glasses or cups. Add a few ice cubes.
- 4. Mix chilled coffee, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Pour over jelly. Top with whipped cream or extra coffee if desired. Serve immediately with spoons or wide straws.
Notes
- Use strong coffee for intense flavor; instant works well for quick prep.
- For vegan version, use agar-agar powder (about 1 tsp) instead of gelatin and plant-based milk.
- Make ahead: Prepare jelly up to 2 days in advance. Assemble just before serving to keep jelly firm.
