Coffee jelly is a Japanese dessert that is as delicious as it is easy to make. If you like coffee-flavored desserts but are looking for something lighter than coffee ice cream, coffee jelly is the perfect option. It’s typically served chilled, cubed, and topped with whipped cream, making it a tasty summertime treat when you’re looking to cool off with something sweet.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the gelatin and water. Stir until they are well-mixed.
Combine the coffee and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a low boil over medium to medium-high heat.
Remove the coffee and sugar combination from heat and whisk in the gelatin-water mixture until it’s completely dissolved. Pour the resulting mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until it’s set. This should take at least 5 hours.
Cube the gelatin into ½-inch chunks and serve in a glass. Top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup if desired.
