This vegan Coffee Jelly features cubes of rich, coffee-flavored jelly, perfect served with sweetened plant milk, or even as boba in a cool iced coffee. This Vegan recipe features Agar Agar – made from a type of red algae. 1 teaspoon of agar powder is equal to 8 teaspoon gelatin powder, which makes this jelly have the dense consistency of a Jell-O Jiggler. We make this gelatin-free version in our home, but if you’re good with gelatin, you can absolutely use it. As with any recipe, take it, modify it, and make it your own.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water (500ml)
- 1 tbsp high quality instant coffee granules
- 2 tsp agar agar
- 3 tsp sugar
- In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.. Turn the heat down to a low simmer and whisk in the instant coffee granules, sugar, and the agar. Stir every few seconds, for around 2-3 minutes or until the ingredients completely dissolve.
- Remove from heat and pour into a shallow dish (we use a Pyrex-style glass baking dish). Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then slide the dish into the fridge. Chill until firm and springy, then cut into cubes; large for a spoonable dessert, tiny for a cold beverage.
