I am not really into drinking coffee like G, who has to have at least 2 to 3 cups black in the morning to start his day right, but I love this liquid gold's aroma and taste in both sweet and savory dishes. In fact, I have a long list of coffee-flavored favorites I make often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I tried coffee jelly was during a trip to Japan many years ago, and it took but one bite of the melt-in-your-mouth gelatin drenched in sweet cream for me to be completely hooked. It was all the craze back then; every bakeshop, restaurant, or convenience store in the country sold one version or another of this dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you've been to Japan, you know everything there is outrageously expensive and prized to the roof. I clearly remember sitting in a quaint Tokyo coffee shop, relishing my very first taste of coffee jelly and almost choking on the last spoonful when I got the bill. $5 for a tiny cup, and that was in 1997!<\/p>\n\n\n

As much as I loved the jiggly concoction and wanted more than a teeny weeny container, my cheap butt couldn't stand the thought of coughing up another $5 for a gelatin dessert I could just as easily and cheaply make at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee jelly is such a quick and easy treat to make; it's all a matter of dissolving the gelatin in hot strong coffee, allowing it to cool and firm up, and drizzling the set gelatin with sweetened cream. Seriously, the hardest part of this recipe is the wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
