I am so enamored with this recipe. This dessert is so simple and is elegant in its simplicity. It should have a more glamorous name. It has a grown up coffee flavor and it is most certainly for adults when Kahlua is added. The quality of the coffee you use will affect the flavor of this, so use a nice grind, something you'd drink at breakfast or dinner.
I used whipped cream for a topping and thought it was perfect, but you could gild the lily and add caramel or chocolate sauce.
With summer coming, this would make an ideal, make ahead, no baking involved, cool and refreshing dessert.
I have caffeine issues,so I don't drink coffee, however, this is SUCH a clever idea. What a great recipe for a luncheon or bridal shower, etc.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good and different. For the summer, a nice dessert idea. I like your Kahlua addition!
ReplyDeleteI love coffee and have never heard of a coffee jello. And with Kahlua, I have got to try this.. Awesome idea, thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of anything like this! I love anything coffee, so I'm sure this would be yummy, especially with the whipped cream!
ReplyDeleteLadies, I cannot tell you how much caffeine I have consumed today because of this. I think next time I'm going to have to make this with decaffeinated coffee!
ReplyDeleteColeen, I was thinking about what you said, about this being good for a shower or luncheon. Great idea! I collect mismatched antique cups and saucers (well some of them are not so antique perhaps, just pretty) and what a terrific way to use them. Thanks for the great idea!
Wow I can taste the coffee. Love the Kahlua printing this. What a deal.My hubby will love this.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea. The Vietnamese have a dessert that is similar to yours. I think I like yours better.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen or heard of this, but being the coffee nut I am, I have to try this. It is so elegant looking too!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of coffee jello and I LOVE coffee. I have to give this one a try.....
ReplyDeleteKaty OH MY!! This is dinner party worthy. I am just imagining the surprise of my guest when I serve them coffee jello!! This is beyond unique... I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI must say I'd have to agree w/most here, I haven't heard of coffee jello either. Something I must try soon w/ the Kuhlua of course ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this recipe!
What a great dessert, something I've never heard of!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful plate and cup and saucer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

P.S. Thanks for visiting our blog, too!
I love coffee jello too! I usually make it in an 8" by 8" pan & cut it into squares...parfaiting it w/ caramel syrup & whipped cream but I am soooo loving your presentation of it in a coffee cup. Why didn't I think of that? Have you ever tried this recipe from allrecipes....it's pretty good too. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Coffee-Lovers-Dessert/Detail.aspx
ReplyDeleteWanted to thank you for your sympathies on Gizzy. I will always miss him but Rudy sures helps ease the pain...I'm glad I didn't delay in getting him.
Amazing. I would have never ever thought of this. Hmmmm....if I substituted the sugar with Splenda I might well be able to have my coffee dessert low cal....sans whip cream. Terrific! By the way...thanks for stopping by my way once again. AND....I will pop in to your 'other blog too....
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...this looks awesome! I am so intrigued, I must try it! Love your blog...keep seeing you on blogs I read (in comments) and thought I'd stop by to see your blog...you got me on the first post I saw :D
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so interesting...great for a hot summer day... :) Thank you for posting it.... :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of two wonderful things. Coffee and Jello.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely!

I don't have to buy Venti Starbucks Coffee Jelly often ;)
ReplyDeleteI found a similar recipe in a French cookbook and went searching for one that uses American gelatin - this looks perfect, so thanks a ton!
