I am having my sisters and family over for dinner. We had char koay teow, which is spicy, thus needing a cool-down dessert. My last coffee berry blue panna cotta jelly pudding was perfect and tasted good. I decided to try again with milk. Here’s my other coffee jelly creation. This time I am adding milk and berry jelly to give it a bright look.
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. “Berry Blue jelly has substances essential of fruit flavour, pectin, sugar, acid and water. A pectin gel or jelly forms when a suitable concentration of pectin, sugar, acid, and water is achieved.”
Google: “Brewing is the process by which coffee grounds are introduced to water and where the soluble compounds that create the delectable flavours and aromas are dissolved into the water. Some popular methods include espresso, drip coffee, French press, and pour-over coffee. Drip coffee is the most common method and is brewed by pouring hot water through coffee grounds and a filter in a coffee maker. This method produces a clean, smooth, and consistent taste.”
Today, I explore and experiment by making drip coffee method. I’m glad it turned out perfect, and making coffee milk gives it a whole different flavour and is the best idea instead of a drink. Who is with me? Will you try it as a dessert? Let’s make a coffee dessert, shall we!!!

Ingredients
Coffee milk jelly
1 1/2 c strong coffee; 2-4 Tbs powder
1/2 c milk
6-8 Tbs sugar or less if you don’t want to sweet
1 packet unflavoured gelatine, 12 g
125 ml water
Berry blue jelly
1 packet Aeroplane berry blue, 85 g
250 ml hot boiling water
200 ml cold water
1 Tsp gelatine powder
Method
Make coffee milk jelly first
Put kettle on. Grease jelly mould with oil. In a small bowl add cold water and add in unflavoured gelatine stir and set for about 5 minutes. When kettle is boiled, place 2 Tbs coffee powder into a metal filter with a holes metal plate that sit nicely on a mug and add hot boiling water, let it drip down into the mug; keep adding hot water until it reaches near the top of mug. Then pour into measuring jug. Repeat the drip method until it reaches 2 c in the jug. Making sure the brewed coffee is hot before adding sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a big metal bowl.
Fill a jug with 125 ml hot water, sprinkles unflavoured gelatine powder. Stir until well mixed and set aside. Wait 5 minutes to absorb.
Pour the unflavoured gelatine into the big metal bowl with coffee jelly. Gives another stir or two. Wait for another 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes up, it has thickened slightly, pour into the greased jelly mould.
The next day
Put kettle on. Empty the berry blue jelly powder into a big metal bowl. Once the kettle is boiled, pour 250 ml hot water into the prepare jelly bowl. Stir until dissolved. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, add 200 ml cold tap water into a jug, and sprinkles 1 Tsp gelatine powder, then pour into the hot water jelly mixture; stirs again to make sure all are combined. Sit again for a further 5 minutes to cool.
When it had cool down, pour on top of the thickened coffee milk jelly in the mould. Place in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight until set. Before serving, flipped out from the mould. Enjoy!!!


Note: Gelatine powder must be softened first in cold water. Since the amounts of gelatine in individual packets can vary slightly, be sure to measure it out with a teaspoon. Too much gelatine could result in a texture that is too firm and Jello-like.
You can prepare it up to three days ahead and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
If chilling longer than a few hours, I recommend covering the moulds loosely with an upside-down baking sheet, crumpled up foil, or crumpled up plastic. (You want to avoid moisture condensing on whatever you’re using to cover the jelly from dripping into the moulds.)
