Coffee Jelly
Description
This Coffee Jelly starts by dissolving agar agar powder and cane sugar in hot coffee, then bringing this mixture to a rolling boil to activate the setting agent. Once poured into a mold and cooled, the coffee jelly sets into a firm, translucent gel that holds its shape but remains tender to bite.
The accompaniment sauce combines heavy cream with sweetened condensed milk to create a sweet, creamy pour-over that contrasts nicely with the slightly bitter coffee flavor of the jelly. Serving involves cutting the set jelly into bite-sized cubes and drizzling the cream mixture over the top, providing a pleasing interplay of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 55 grams cane sugar ~¼ cup, evaporated
- 4 grams agar agar powder ~2 teaspoons
- 4 cups coffee
- ½ cup heavy cream (mine was 47% butterfat)
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- To make the jelly, put the sugar and agar-agar powder into a pot and then add the coffee. Put the pot on the stove and stir it while bringing it to a boil.
- When the mixture comes to a rolling boil, remove it from the heat and pour it into an 8 x 8-inch mold (other similar sizes will work). Let this cool to room temperature, cover it, and put it in the refrigerator to fully set.
- To make the sauce, add the cream and sweetened condensed milk to a bowl and stir the mixture together until it's evenly combined. Keep the cream chilled in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.
- When the coffee jelly has been set, unmold it by inverting it onto a cutting board. You can run a toothpick along one edge of the mold to release any suction that may be holding it in.
- Cut the coffee jelly into bite-sized cubes and serve it in glass cups or bowls, drizzled with the sweet cream.
