01 Step

03 Step

Place the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Ensure no granules remain.
04 Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. This will add a subtle brightness to the coffee flavor. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Pour the mixture into a 4 1/2 cup mold or individual serving glasses. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the gelatin to fully set. (6+ hours)
07 Step
Recipe View
To serve, gently unmold the gelatin (if using a mold) onto a serving plate. If in individual glasses, serve directly. Garnish with a generous dollop of sweetened whipped cream. (5 minutes)
For a richer flavor, try using espresso instead of regular brewed coffee.
If you don't have a mold, ramekins or small bowls work perfectly.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the strength and bitterness of your coffee.
For a vegan option, use agar-agar powder instead of gelatin, following package instructions for substitution.
A sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream adds a lovely visual appeal and complements the coffee flavor.
