Frozen Iced Coffee With Coffee Jelly

From the kitchen of Carly

Coffee jelly suspended in creamy iced coffee that tastes like a deconstructed affogato. Wispy whipped cream melts into every sip, while the wobbly jelly bits add texture and a caffeine boost. Pure comfort in a glass.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11 (1/4-ounce) envelope powdered unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 12 cups freshly brewed hot coffee
  • 13 tablespoons sugar
  • 13/4 cup heavy cream
  • 11 teaspoon sugar
  • 11 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 11 1/2 cups cooled coffee
  • 11/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 11/4 cup heavy cream
  • 13 tablespoons sugar
  • 11 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1Bubble tea or other wide straws

Instructions

  1. Dissolve gelatin in 3 Tbsp. cool water in a small bowl. Let stand until bloomed, about 2 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, combine hot coffee and sugar in a loaf pan or large resealable container. Gently stir gelatin mixture into coffee until combined (do not stir too vigorously or air bubbles will appear). Chill until firm, about 2 hours.

  3. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed or a whisk, whip cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and whip to medium peaks.

  4. Blend coffee, syrup, cream, sugar, vanilla, and 3 cups ice in a blender until smooth.

  5. Cut coffee jelly into 3/4” cubes. Fill 4 tall glasses with 1/2 cup cubed coffee jelly each. Spoon 3 Tbsp. whipped cream over each and spread to create a solid layer of cream. Divide frozen iced coffee (about 1 cup each) among glasses on top of cream layer. Top with more whipped cream and serve immediately with bubble tea straws.
