Classic Iced Coffee Jelly Float

Perhaps the best way to cool off on a warm afternoon is with a coffee jelly float. There's something meditative about watching the dark jelly cubes glisten in a glass before topping them with a cloud of vanilla ice cream. This recipe turns simple cold-brew into a layered, creamy treat that feels both familiar and indulgent.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups cold-brew coffee
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 scoop vanilla ice cream per serving
• Extra cold-brew coffee for pouring (about 1/4 cup per serving)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups cold-brew coffee and 3 tablespoons sugar. Heat over medium, stirring, until sugar dissolves and coffee is warm (not boiling).
3. Remove from heat. Add bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved, about 1 minute. (Tip: Make sure the coffee is not too hot — around 120°F — to preserve gelatin's setting power.)
4. Pour the mixture into an 8×8-inch dish. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
5. Once set, cut jelly into 1/2-inch cubes using a sharp knife. (Tip: Run the knife under hot water between cuts for clean edges.)
6. To serve, divide jelly cubes among 4 glasses. Pour extra cold-brew coffee over the cubes until halfway full.
7. Top each glass with one generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. (Tip: For a float-like experience, use a wide-mouth glass and let the ice cream melt slightly into the coffee.)
8. Serve immediately with a long spoon.

Unlike heavier pudding-style desserts, this float is light and bouncy, with the jelly offering a gentle coffee chew that melts into creamy vanilla. You can also swap the ice cream for a dairy-free coconut or oat version, or drizzle a bit of salted caramel on top for extra sweetness.

Japanese-style Matcha Coffee Jelly Cream

Yearning for a dessert that balances bitter and sweet, I found myself in the kitchen with matcha and coffee. This recipe combines a silky coffee jelly with a cloud of matcha whipped cream—a delicate contrast that feels both indulgent and calming. It's the kind of treat you make for yourself on a quiet afternoon.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet (about 2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom; the gelatin will absorb the water and become spongy.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the strong brewed coffee and granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Avoid boiling—high heat can weaken the gelatin's setting power.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir gently until it dissolves completely; the mixture should be clear and smooth.
4. Pour the coffee mixture evenly into serving glasses or a shallow dish. Refrigerate until firmly set, at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
5. Just before serving, prepare the matcha cream. In a chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and matcha powder. Whisk vigorously by hand or with an electric mixer until the cream holds soft peaks—be careful not to overwhip, or it may turn grainy.
6. Once the coffee jelly is set, spoon a generous layer of matcha cream on top. For a cleaner look, transfer the cream to a piping bag and pipe swirls.
7. Serve immediately, chilled. The jelly should wobble gently, and the cream should be light and airy.

Every spoonful brings a gentle bitterness that lingers, softened by the creamy matcha top. You can also crumble a bit of shortbread on top for extra crunch—perfect for a midday pick-me-up.

Affogato-style Coffee Jelly Espresso Float

Floating between a dessert and a late-night pick-me-up, this Affogato-style Coffee Jelly Espresso Float is the kind of treat that slows down a busy day. The bitter-sweet coffee jelly sits submerged under a stream of hot espresso, while a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream slowly melts into the mix, creating a dreamy, multi-textured moment.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Coffee Jelly

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup cold water

For the Float

• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup hot fresh espresso (or strong brewed coffee)
• Optional: whipped cream, chocolate shavings

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Tip: Use cold water to prevent clumping.
2. In a small saucepan, heat brewed coffee and sugar over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling.
3. Remove from heat and add bloomed gelatin, whisk until fully dissolved. Tip: Ensure no gelatin granules remain.
4. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish (like an 8×8 pan) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until firm.
5. Once set, cut the coffee jelly into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Tip: Run a knife under hot water for clean cuts.
6. Divide the jelly cubes among 4 serving glasses or bowls.
7. Brew fresh espresso (or strong coffee) and immediately pour hot over the jelly cubes. Tip: Serve espresso piping hot to contrast with cold jelly and ice cream.
8. Top each glass with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Optionally, add whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

Just as the hot espresso cascades over the cold jelly, the bitterness wakes up the sweetness of the ice cream — a delicate dance of temperatures and flavors. Spoon through the layers to catch bits of wobbly jelly, melting cream, and rich coffee. A perfect slow-down moment for any coffee lover.

Coconut Milk Coffee Jelly Cooler (Vegan)

Yesterday, while the afternoon sun spilled through the kitchen window, I found myself craving something cool and creamy with a coffee kick. That’s how this Coconut Milk Coffee Jelly Cooler came to be—a gentle, vegan-friendly refreshment that feels like a tropical pause.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Coffee Jelly

• 2 cups strong brewed coffee
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons agar agar powder

Coconut Milk Cooler

• 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

1. Brew 2 cups of strong coffee (use double-strength for deeper flavor).
2. In a small saucepan, combine the hot coffee, sugar, and agar agar powder. Whisk until fully dissolved.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for exactly 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
4. Pour the mixture into a shallow 8×8-inch dish. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
5. Once the jelly is set, cut it into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
6. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, cold water, and maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
7. Divide ice cubes among 4 glasses. Add a generous handful of coffee jelly cubes to each glass, then pour the coconut milk mixture over the top.
8. Stir gently to combine the jelly with the coconut milk, and serve immediately. (Tip: Shake the coconut milk can well before opening for a creamier texture; the glasses should be chilled for a longer-lasting cool.)

Maybe it's the soft creaminess of the coconut milk meeting the bold coffee jelly, or the way the cubes bob and sway in the glass, but this cooler feels like a little luxury. Perfect for lazy afternoons or when you need a moment of quiet delight.

Salted Caramel Coffee Jelly Latte

Zipping my sweater against the chill, I find myself craving something that feels like a hug in a mug. This Salted Caramel Coffee Jelly Latte is that—soft, warm, and gently sweet, with little cubes of coffee jelly bobbing in steamed milk like tiny treasures.

Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Coffee Jelly

• 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 tsp unflavored gelatin
• 2 tbsp cold water
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Salted Caramel Sauce

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp salted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
• 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt

Latte

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• coffee jelly cubes (from above)
• salted caramel sauce (from above)

Instructions

1. Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes until spongy.
2. Make the coffee jelly: In a small saucepan, heat the brewed coffee and sugar over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add bloomed gelatin, and stir until fully dissolved.
3. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm. Once set, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. (Tip: run a knife under hot water for clean cuts.)
4. Make the salted caramel: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, swirling occasionally until melted and amber, about 5-7 minutes. Do not stir; just swirl the pan.
5. Remove from heat, immediately whisk in butter until melted. Slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking (the mixture will bubble up). Stir in sea salt. Let cool slightly. (Tip: if caramel seizes, gently rewarm over low heat.)
6. Steam the milk: In a small saucepan, warm milk over medium heat until steaming (about 150°F), whisking to create foam. Alternatively, use a milk frother. Stir in vanilla extract.
7. Assemble the lattes: Divide coffee jelly cubes between two heatproof glasses or mugs. Pour steamed milk over the jelly. Drizzle each with 1-2 tbsp salted caramel sauce. (Tip: serve immediately while warm for the best texture contrast.)

Really, the first sip is a quiet surprise—the jelly softens into silky ribbons, the milk is creamy, and the caramel leaves a faint salty kiss. I love serving it in a clear glass so the layers show, like a little landscape of comfort.

Coffee Jelly Mocha Frappé with Chocolate Shards

Early evening settles in, soft and still, the kind of moment that calls for something slow and sweet. I find myself craving a cold, layered treat—a coffee jelly mocha frappé topped with brittle chocolate shards.

Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the coffee jelly

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp unflavored gelatin
• 2 tbsp cold water

For the chocolate shards

• 4 oz dark chocolate (60-70% cacao)

For the frappé

• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
• whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

1. Make the coffee jelly: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water; let bloom for 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, combine coffee and sugar over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm (not boiling). Remove from heat, add bloomed gelatin, and stir until fully dissolved. Pour into a shallow 8×8 inch dish, refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. (Tip: Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the richest flavor; let it cool slightly before adding gelatin.)
2. Make the chocolate shards: Finely chop the dark chocolate and melt in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts). Spread melted chocolate thinly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 15-20 minutes. Once set, break the chocolate into irregular shards. (Tip: Spread chocolate as thin as possible for delicate shards that shatter beautifully.)
3. Assemble the frappé: Once the coffee jelly is set, cut half of it into small cubes (about 1/2-inch). Set aside the remaining jelly for serving. In a blender, combine milk, ice cubes, chocolate syrup, sugar (if using), and half of the coffee jelly cubes. Blend on high until smooth and thick, but still with some small jelly bits visible. (Tip: Blend just until combined to keep some jelly pieces intact for texture; overblending will turn them into liquid.)
4. To serve: Divide the remaining coffee jelly cubes between two tall glasses. Pour the frappé mixture over the jelly cubes. Top each glass with a generous swirl of whipped cream and scatter chocolate shards on top. Serve immediately.

One sip—and the bitterness of coffee yields to creamy chocolate, the jelly cubes bob like tiny treasures. It's a drink that slows time, perfect for an evening that asks for nothing more than this.

Citrus Cold Brew Coffee Jelly Spritz

Lately, I've been drawn to the quiet ritual of a slow morning sip, where each layer unfolds like a gentle thought. This spritz captures that feeling—a little bitterness, a little brightness, and the softest jelly that quivers on your tongue before dissolving into coffee-soaked nostalgia.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups strong cold brew coffee
• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon simple syrup (or to taste)
• 1 cup sparkling water, chilled
• Ice cubes

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup of the cold brew coffee over medium heat until steaming (do not boil). Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin and 2 tablespoons sugar until completely dissolved.
3. Pour the mixture into a shallow 8×8-inch dish. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Tip: To speed setting, place dish in the freezer for 30 minutes, but watch it closely.
4. Once set, cut the jelly into 1/2-inch cubes using a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges.
5. In a pitcher or large glass, combine the remaining 1 cup cold brew, orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir gently.
6. Divide the coffee jelly cubes among 4 glasses. Add a handful of ice to each.
7. Pour the citrus cold brew mixture over the ice, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
8. Top each glass with 1/4 cup sparkling water and stir once. Serve immediately. Tip: For extra fizz, add sparkling water just before serving; for a more layered look, pour slowly over the back of a spoon.

With each sip, the jelly surrenders to the carbonation, releasing pockets of coffee that mingle with bright citrus. Serve it in a tall Collins glass with a thin slice of orange floating on top, and let the day begin at its own pace.

Honey Cinnamon Coffee Jelly Chai Latte

Brewing this cozy drink feels like wrapping your hands around a warm mug on a quiet afternoon. The combination of coffee jelly infused with chai spices and creamy honey cinnamon milk creates a comforting, aromatic treat perfect for slow mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups strong brewed coffee
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3 cardamom pods, crushed
• 2 whole cloves
• 2 tablespoons honey, divided
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 2 cups milk (whole or non-dairy)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, and cloves. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and steep for 5 minutes. Strain the spices and discard. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey until dissolved.
2. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes until spongy.
3. Return the spiced coffee to low heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Whisk constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 1–2 minutes. Do not let it boil.
4. Pour the coffee mixture into an 8×8-inch dish or similar shallow container. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch. (Tip: For easy release, lightly oil the dish first.)
5. Once set, cut the jelly into 1/2-inch cubes using a sharp knife. (Dip the knife in hot water between cuts for clean edges.)
6. In a clean saucepan, combine the milk, remaining 1 tablespoon honey, and ground cinnamon. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally, until steaming but not boiling. (Tip: If using dairy milk, avoid high heat to prevent curdling.)
7. Divide the coffee jelly cubes among 4 glasses or mugs. Pour the warm honey cinnamon milk over the jelly. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top and serve immediately.

Layered with silky coffee jelly that melts on the tongue and the gentle warmth of spiced milk, this latte feels like a hug in a cup. For a fun twist, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of extra honey—it’s as versatile as it is comforting.

Almond Protein Coffee Jelly Shake (Protein-rich)

Nestled into the quiet of the kitchen, I find myself reaching for the ingredients that promise both comfort and fuel. This Almond Protein Coffee Jelly Shake is my slow, deliberate reward after a long run.

Serving: 1 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 tsp instant coffee granules
• 1 tbsp gelatin
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 2 tsp instant coffee granules. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, about 3 minutes. (Tip: For a richer flavor, use freshly brewed espresso instead of instant coffee.)
2. Remove from heat. Sprinkle 1 tbsp gelatin over the surface and whisk vigorously until completely dissolved, about 1 minute. (Tip: To avoid lumps, whisk constantly; if any remain, strain through a fine-mesh sieve.)
3. Stir in 1 tbsp maple syrup until fully incorporated.
4. Pour the mixture into a small shallow dish (such as an 8×8 inch pan). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm and set. (Tip: For a quicker set, place in the freezer for 30 minutes, but keep an eye on it.)
5. Once set, cut the coffee jelly into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
6. In a blender, combine 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 1 cup ice cubes. (Tip: For extra creaminess, substitute half the ice with a frozen banana.)
7. Add about 1/2 cup of the coffee jelly cubes to the blender. Reserve the remaining cubes for garnish, if desired.
8. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy, about 30 to 60 seconds. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly.
9. Pour the shake into a tall glass. Top with reserved coffee jelly cubes and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if using.

Underneath the creamy almond milk and protein, the coffee jelly offers a gentle, jiggly surprise that makes each sip feel like a small discovery. It's the kind of shake that turns recovery into a moment of peace.

Oat Milk Coffee Jelly Pearls Latte (Vegan)

Coffee and oat milk have always felt like a quiet comfort, but when I started tucking little jelly pearls into my latte, it turned into something whimsical. Cold, creamy, with chewy bursts of coffee — it’s a slow, gentle way to start the day.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups oat milk
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 tablespoons agar agar powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cooled coffee, agar agar powder, and maple syrup until the agar is fully dissolved. Let it sit for 5 minutes to hydrate — this helps the jelly set evenly.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the liquid thickens slightly. Agar needs a full boil to activate its gelling power.
3. Pour the hot liquid into a shallow dish (like a 8×8 inch baking pan) to a depth of about 1/4 inch. Refrigerate uncovered for 20 minutes, or until firm and completely cool. To test, touch the surface — it should be springy and not sticky.
4. Once set, run a thin spatula around the edges and invert onto a cutting board. Slice the jelly into small cubes about 1/4 inch wide. If they stick, lightly dust the board with water.
5. Divide the jelly pearls evenly among four glasses. Gently pour 1/2 cup of oat milk into each glass over the pearls. Stir once to suspend them, then serve immediately — the pearls will slowly rise and settle as they soften in the milk.

With a mild sweetness and a playful pop in every sip, the pearls add a tactile surprise to the creamy oat milk base. It’s the kind of latte that makes you slow down — perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a quiet afternoon break.

Mocha Mint Coffee Jelly Cooler

During these warm afternoons, I find myself reaching for something cool and comforting—a drink that feels like a gentle pause. This Mocha Mint Coffee Jelly Cooler is exactly that: a softly layered glass of silky coffee jelly, muddled mint, and chocolate syrup, all brought together with a creamy mocha mint refresher.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Coffee Jelly

• 2 cups strong brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 packet (about 2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin

Mocha Mint Cooler

• 8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
• 1 cup milk (any kind)
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, combine the 2 cups hot brewed coffee and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
3. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot coffee mixture and stir until fully dissolved. Pour into an 8×8-inch dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. (Tip: For a firmer jelly, use less water or let it set longer.)
4. Once set, cut the coffee jelly into small cubes, about 1/2-inch each. Set aside.
5. In a tall glass, add the mint leaves and chocolate syrup. Gently muddle with a muddler or the back of a spoon just to release the mint's aroma—don't crush too hard or it becomes bitter. (Tip: Muddle gently to avoid bruising the mint.)
6. Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving room for the jelly and liquid.
7. Add a generous scoop of coffee jelly cubes on top of the ice.
8. In a separate cup, stir together the chilled 1 cup strong coffee and milk until combined. Pour this mocha mint base over the ice and jelly. (Tip: For a colder drink, chill the glass in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand.)
9. Stir gently to distribute the chocolate and mint. Top with whipped cream and an extra mint leaf if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.

Chilled and layered, each sip brings a soft bitterness from the jelly, a cool minty tingle, and a gentle chocolate sweetness—like a quiet afternoon in a glass. You could also turn it into a dessert by serving the jelly in small bowls topped with the mocha mint mixture and a dollop of cream.

Mellow and deeply aromatic, each sip carries a hint of coffee bitterness softened by bourbon’s warmth. For a playful twist, serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Keto Coffee Jelly Mousse Drink (Low-Sugar)

Gently, I find myself craving something cool and creamy with a hint of coffee elegance. This keto coffee jelly mousse drink combines a subtly sweet, wobbly jelly with a luscious, velvety mousse—perfect for a quiet afternoon treat.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Coffee Jelly

• 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or favorite keto sweetener)
• 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
• 2 tbsp cold water (to bloom gelatin)

For the Mousse Drink

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp powdered erythritol
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (optional, for thinning)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a saucepan, heat brewed coffee over medium heat until warm (not boiling). Stir in 2 tablespoons erythritol until dissolved.
3. Remove coffee from heat and add bloomed gelatin, stirring until completely dissolved. Pour mixture into a shallow 8×8-inch dish. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
4. While jelly sets, in a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, 1 tablespoon erythritol, and vanilla extract. Whip with a hand mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form. For a thinner mousse, fold in almond milk.
5. Once jelly is set, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Layer cubes in serving glasses, then spoon mousse on top. For a layered drink, gently stir mousse into jelly cubes.
6. Tip: Use freshly brewed coffee for the deepest flavor. Bloom gelatin in cold water first to avoid lumps. Chill jelly fully—at least 3 hours—for clean cubes.

Sipping this through a straw reveals jiggly coffee cubes suspended in a cloud of creamy mousse. It’s a dessert and a drink in one—perfect for breakfast indulgence or a midnight keto snack.

• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water; let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.

4. Pour the coffee mixture into a shallow dish or two serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
5. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and condensed milk together until smooth.
6. Fill a small saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer. Place the bowl over the simmering water (not touching) and whisk continuously until mixture thickens and turns pale, about 3-5 minutes. Tip: Use a metal bowl for even heat and whisk constantly to avoid curdling.
7. Remove from heat and continue whisking until slightly cooled. The egg cream should be thick and ribbon-like when lifted.
8. To assemble, place a spoonful of coffee jelly into the bottom of each serving glass. Add a few ice cubes if desired.
9. Pour 1/2 cup of hot strong coffee over the jelly.
10. Top with a generous dollop of egg cream. Serve immediately, stirring to combine before drinking. Tip: For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso. Tip: If concerned about raw eggs, use pasteurized eggs; this recipe contains raw egg, so avoid if pregnant.

Jazz up your morning coffee ritual with this Vietnamese-inspired treat. The silky egg cream floats atop a bold coffee jelly, creating a dessert-like beverage that's both comforting and indulgent. It's perfect for lazy weekends or as a sweet ending to a meal.

3. Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10 seconds, or until liquefied, then whisk into the hot coffee. Pour the mixture into an 8×8-inch dish. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until firm.
4. While the jelly sets, brew the black tea: pour 2 cups boiling water over 4 tea bags, steep for 5 minutes, then remove bags. Stir in 1 tbsp sugar if desired. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
5. To serve, cut the chilled coffee jelly into 1/2-inch cubes. Divide jelly cubes among 4 glasses. Pour the chilled black tea over the cubes, leaving room for ice. Add a handful of ice cubes to each glass.
