Today we have prepared for you various options for coffee jelly - with recipes and photos.

About coffee

In our country, this delicious, fragrant, invigorating drink is loved no less than tea. It is believed that coffee appeared in Russia in the "Petrine times". Peter I brought it to our country from Holland. After that, he began to instill the culture of coffee drinking in the St. Petersburg nobility. However, it is known from ancient chronicles that coffee appeared much earlier and was used by princes for medical purposes. Until the beginning of the 20th century, coffee was considered exclusively a drink of aristocrats because of its high price. Later, it became more affordable, and is now an invariable attribute of breakfast. Currently, coffee beans are imported into our countryin large quantities from Brazil, India, Argentina and other countries. By the way, biologists planted an experimental plantation with this crop in Sochi.

We have prepared for you three of the most original dessert recipes, where coffee is the main ingredient! We must say right away that in order to obtain a quality dessert, one should adhere to the given recipes. Otherwise, the products may be too liquid or, conversely, thick.

Coffee jelly: three layers

All the ingredients of this light dessert are sure to be found in every housewife's kitchen. It consists of three different layers, has an original appearance and exquisite taste. We will prepare it as follows.

Top layer:

• ½ tsp sugar;
• 1/8 tsp agar (powder);
• a small pinch of tea;
• 50ml water;
• 1 tsp heavy cream.

We make tea, after it is well infused, we filter it. Combine sugar with agar, add to tea, stir well. We put on the smallest fire and heat until the components dissolve. Remove from heat, add coconut milk to the mixture and mix very quickly, because the agar sets instantly. We take a beautiful glass that has the shape of a cone, pour the resulting mixture into it.

Mid layer:

• 1 tsp cocoa (powder);
• 100ml water;
• 25 g sugar (maybe a little more);
• ½ tsp agar;
• 2 tsp fresh coconut milk (1 tsp.cream).

Mix agar powder and sugar. In a small container, bring water to a boil, add the resulting mixture and cocoa powder to it. Mix well until the components are completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the milk component to the resulting mass. Pour carefully into the glass on top of the first layer.

Bottom layer:

• ½ tsp agar;
• 2-3 tsp coffee (ground) + 120 ml water;
• 20g sugar;
• 2 tbsp. l. coconut milk.

For coffee jelly, mix sugar with agar, boil water separately, remove from heat, add coffee to it, mix the drink well and leave for a while to develop the aroma. After that, put the drink in a small container on low heat, add a mixture of sugar and agar and heat until they are completely dissolved. If the mass, in your opinion, turns out to be too thick, you need to add a little water to it. Then we remove the mass from the stove, add cream to it and pour the last layer into a glass. Place in refrigerator.

The jelly prepared according to this recipe is very stable. In the event that you prefer a softer jelly, you can reduce the amount of agar by half or use gelatin to make dessert.
