Have you tried Japanese Coffee Jelly before? You might have seen an anime character eating it on TV, or if you have been to Japan, you might have seen it next to Purin at convenience stores. Coffee Jelly is a chilled coffee with gelatin, and it’s been a popular dessert in Japan for decades. It’s usually served with heavy cream, but in this recipe, we are serving it with ice cream. The jelly is made much softer and less sweet than our original Coffee Jelly recipe, so you can simply spoon the soft and cold jelly into a glass. Top with vanilla ice cream, it melts in your mouth! Bitterness from black coffee and sweetness and creaminess from ice cream are a perfect match. You can adjust the amount of gelatin and sugar to your liking. If you like ice coffee, you should definitely give this a try!
