Went to a friend house for coffee and cake that she requested I should try her creation of coffee jelly which is coffee jelly cut into cubes and added to condensed milk coffee. Knowing me, I tasted it and love it. I got to try out. She had used Malaysian black coffee powder. I don’t have the Malaysian black coffee powder and agar; I use strong espresso and unflavoured gelatine which is so hard to find.

Google: “Coffee jelly is made from sweetened coffee added to agar, a gelatinous substance made from algae and called kanten in Japanese. It may also be made from gelatin rather than agar, which is more common in European and American cuisine. It is often cut into cubes and served in a variety of dessert dishes and beverages.”

Google: “Jelly Pudding is a delicious recipe made using fresh cream, condensed milk and strawberry jelly. Gelatine desserts (also Jelly, Jello, Jinkington, or Jinkies) are desserts made with a sweetened and flavoured processed collagen product (gelatine).”

“Panna cotta means “cooked cream” in Italian, and that’s essentially what the base is—heated heavy cream (often with a little half-and-half or whole milk) mixed with gelatin powder and flavoured with vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. The mixture is then poured into ramekins or small molds and chilled.”

Instead of making coffee jelly as a drink, I explore and experiment making it as panna cotta jelly pudding. Glad it does turn out perfect and making berry blue panna cotta gives it a whole different flavour and best idea instead as a drink. Who is with me? Will you try it as a dessert? Let’s make a coffee dessert, shall we!!!
