This is a cool, shimmering dessert you eat with a spoon, offering the flavour of coffee in a unique gelatin form. It originates from Rhode Island and is a treat for true coffee enthusiasts. The recipe uses unflavored gelatin combined with cold and hot coffee, sugar, and a pinch of salt. After dissolving, the mixture is poured into dishes and chilled until firmly set. It is traditionally served with a topping of sweetened whipped cream. The entire process takes about 15 minutes of active preparation time.

Coffee Jello

Ingredients

  • 2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup cold coffee (or Kahlua)

  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. Place the gelatin and cold coffee into a large bowl and mix them together.
  2. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes so the gelatin can soften properly.
