Servings: 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240ml) water (You can use brewed black coffee instead of water and instant coffee.)
  • 1 Tbsp instant coffee
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp unflavored gelatin powder (If you prefer a firmer texture, adjust to ½ Tbsp per 2 servings.)

Toppings:

  • whipped cream or cream
  • mint leaves

Instructions

  • Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat, and add instant coffee and sugar, stirring well until dissolved. Let it cool until it reaches a temperature of 122-158°F (50-70°C), which usually takes about 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add gelatin powder to the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Pour the mixture into small bowls. If bubbles form, remove them. Place the bowls in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Take the bowls out of the refrigerator and garnish with whipped cream and mint leaves.

Notes

  • You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
