A wonderful chicken meal with a delicious, fresh flavor and a superb mushroom sauce! The secret to my mother’s never-lumpy gravy or sauce is to combine the stock and flour before putting it in the pan. This approach is foolproof and has helped me over the years.

I had this the first time in Japan- loved it!! It’s not a sweet jello/gelatin which lends its perfectly to the sweeter toppings.
This may have been a mistake on my part however I followed the recipe exactly and it did not set at all. Once I managed to somewhat fix it, the jello was not appetizing. It was far too bitter and only tasted okay after adding whipped cream, even then it wasn’t the greatest. This recipe sounds delicious and I am glad it worked for many people but unfortunately for me it did not. I may try doing it again maybe using coffee that is sweeter and more gelatin.
I was a little torn on how to rate this, because I didn’t love the jelly by itself. It’s basically like drinking a cup of lightly sweetened coffee (which isn’t my bag). But, like a cup of coffee, it gets tastier when you add stuff. I served with a splash of bailey’s and whipped cream and it was yummy.
Great recipe, very easy.
This recipe works great! We prefer it with cold brew.
I really liked this. So easy and so simple. Will make again. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I’m not a huge coffee drinker so I was not enamored with this. I may try this again and work out how to make this jelly a little more solid. As it stands, the jelly did not set up as well as I’d have liked (too loose).
This is also delicious cubed and served in a martini glass with a Starbucks Doubleshot for breakfast, or with Bailey’s Irish Cream as an after dinner treat. I add a dollop of whipped cream and shaved semisweet chocolate to mine.
The next time I may reduce the sugar a little. It is a refreshing dessert, light and tasty.
it tasted so goodddd
i love this recipe it tastes slightly earthy with a citrusy flavor and for a whole new experience add a splash of whole milk and you will know the true meaning of delicacy
We served it with condensed milk and it was delicious!
Used strong brew coffee and added 4 tble sugar instead of 3. I’m from Boston area originally and my grandmother used to make this. Brought back great memories of a childhood fav I haven’t had in years.
I didn’t think this would be very good but my children, who have become obsessed with Japanese culture, forced me to make it. It was delicious and I’m not normally a fan of jell-o. Next time I think I’ll add milk/cream and make the jell-o a creamed coffee taste. The whipped cream also made it great. I wouldn’t leave it out.
Was extremely yummy! Serving it with whipped cream gave it that extra dessert taste.
Really great!! My son tried this at a restaurant last week. We found your recipe and he said it rated just like the one he had. He was so excited
I have always loved coffee jelly
Refreshing. Easy. Make ahead. Just like they serve it in Hawaii.
Yummy!!
Sooo much tastier than I thought it would be. I put it in two smaller containers so it would set faster then topped with whipped cream. This will now be my go-to sweet snack!
Definitely have to use great tasting coffee. =) used vegan gelatin and it worked great.
