(9)

Frozen Iced Coffee with Coffee Jelly.

This sweet and refreshing drink features layers of chocolatey coffee slushie, vanilla whipped cream, and coffee jelly (think coffee jell-o).

Cooks’ Note

To make the jelly, coffee must be hot when the bloomed gelatin is added. If necessary, heat coffee in a microwave or in a small pot on the stovetop before adding gelatin.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    2 1/2 hours (including chilling time)

  • Yield

    Makes 4 drinks

Ingredients

For the coffee jelly:

1 (1/4-ounce) envelope powdered unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
2 cups freshly brewed hot coffee
3 tablespoons sugar

For the whipped cream:

3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the frozen iced coffee:

1 1/2 cups cooled coffee
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Special Equipment:

Bubble tea or other wide straws

Preparation

  1. Make the coffee jelly:

    Step 1

    Dissolve gelatin in 3 Tbsp. cool water in a small bowl. Let stand until bloomed, about 2 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, combine hot coffee and sugar in a loaf pan or large resealable container. Gently stir gelatin mixture into coffee until combined (do not stir too vigorously or air bubbles will appear). Chill until firm, about 2 hours.

  2. Make the whipped cream:

    Step 3

    Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed or a whisk, whip cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and whip to medium peaks.

  3. Make the frozen iced coffee:

    Step 4

    Blend coffee, syrup, cream, sugar, vanilla, and 3 cups ice in a blender until smooth.

  4. Assemble the drink:

    Step 5

    Cut coffee jelly into 3/4” cubes. Fill 4 tall glasses with 1/2 cup cubed coffee jelly each. Spoon 3 Tbsp. whipped cream over each and spread to create a solid layer of cream. Divide frozen iced coffee (about 1 cup each) among glasses on top of cream layer. Top with more whipped cream and serve immediately with bubble tea straws.
