The coffee jelly looks delicious and I really want to make it. And wow, your kitchen is pristine. That is the sparkliest, cleanest stove I have ever seen in use. I'm really impressed.
Heya Mark, even though it's winter here in AUS I made your recipe.. but I added 2 tablespoons of high quality drinking chocolate to make it mocha. I hope this is ok and in no way disrespectful. It was amazing, thanks as always for the inspiration!!
Great idea Daniel! I love the idea and I think I'm going to borrow it the next time I do this. Cooking is all about making a dish suit your tastes so I'm all for experimenting and coming up with something new😉
The first time I had this was in college in the mid 90s in college at a Japanese restaurant. I was thinking about this again the other day and saw the link to this in reddit this morning. Thanks!
Marcccc! Are you the best or are you the BEST! I just bought a packet of gelatine this week, and was trying to think of ways to use it and BOOM! YT notified me of this vid! Mangoes are in season right now in Malaysia, but coffee sounds so refreshing! I can't wait to try your recipe, it always hits the spot for me!
Hi Kaye, from my understanding it was actually a popular way to enjoy Jelly in the US and UK historically. In fact Jell-O actually produced a coffee jelly mix about 100 years ago. I'm not really sure why it disappeared in the west, but it could have something to do with the fact that jellies in general fell out of favor towards the end of the last century.
Made this today, sooooo goooood! I think my agar agar set a little too firm, though. It was a Thai brand. Still, we ate the whole batch!😵💫 Next time I might make it with half caffeinated coffee.😅☕🤎
I made this for my July 4th party. Fortunately I experienced it the day before the party. The agar-agar I bought (from my local Asian grocery store) obviously is different from your agar-agar. According to you recipe, you used 4 grams. It did not turn out well for me (watery after chilled). I ended up using 170 grams of agar-agar! Finally it turned out great. I guess there are different type of agar-agar. Thank you for the recipe.
Hi Joanna, I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out. Wow that's a lot of agar-agar. Did it come in a powdered form? What was the country of origin for it? The ones in Japan vary in strength a bit by brand, but I've never seen such a big difference. Would love to figure out why there's such a big difference and if this is a common occurrence so I can warn others.
@@NoRecipes Agar-Agar from chinese grocery store are from Thailand and the final texture is crispy form not chewy form like yours. Your jelly texture likes used gelatin powder. I'm confused.
@@michelelo218 Apparently there are some differences in the thickening abilities of Agar-agar. While mine was not "chewy" in texture it was relatively tender. If yours was very hard, please try and reduce the amount you add.
@@michelelo218 Agar shouldn't be crispy but it has a different texture than gelatine. It tends to be more brittle and crumbly vs gelatine that tends to be more supple and chewy. I get around this by adding a relatively small amount of agar, but apparently agar powder varies in strength. It sounds like maybe yours was much more potent than mine. Please try reducing the quantity of agar next time you try it.
For this recipe, I used this brand: www.amazon.co.jp/かんてんぱぱ-伊那食品-徳用かんてんクック-4g×20p/dp/B003Q46ZE2 Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to try any US brands so I'm not sure which ones will work best for this.
It depends on the type of instant coffee you have and how strong you want it. I'd recommend making the coffee per the package directions (or however you normally make it) and then using the coffee that you made in this recipe.
I only found whole agar-agar strips. Anyone know how to use that in this recipe instead of powder? (I want to be able to offer this treat to my vegetarian friends)
It's been years since I've used the whole strips, so I can't guarantee it will work, but I think the strips have the same thickening power as the powder gram for gram, so you should be able to cut off 4 grams. Then you need to soak them in water until they rehydrate like a sponge (will take about 20 minutes). Then you squeeze as much water out as you can, and you can add it to the coffee with the other ingredients and boil it until the kanten is completely dissolved.
Hi Rania, this is gelled with Agar. You can make it using gelatin if you want but you'll need to figure out the right ratio of gelatin to coffee as it has a different gelling power than Agar.
Different brands are going to have different ratios of water to powder so follow the instructions on the package to make coffee and then use the coffee in this recipe.
Hi Mobeen, I haven't tested the recipe with gelatin, so you'll need to experiment to find out the right amount of gelatin to add. As for heating, the same method should work.
I made this before and the coffee jelly had that sour /acidity taste at the end. I used instant coffee powder. Please let me know if you have this issue before and how to handle it.
Hi Margiono, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. The only ingredient in this recipe that could cause it to be sour is the coffee (some coffee is more acidic than others). My recommendation would be to try a different brand of coffee.
The way you cut the jelly was so satisfying to watch!
😆I thought the same thing while I was editing the footage.
Saiki kusou wants to know your location!😂

That's exactly what I was thinking omg
You're just in time with this for our heatwave in Finland! We love coffee! Thank you, have to try this!

I love this. Can't wait to try it, and serve it to my cold coffee loving relatives and friends. Thanks. Fan from Louisiana. 🤗🌻🦋

I'm surprised that with Americans love for jell-o and coffee this hasn't caught on more! I'll have to make some soon!

So happy to hear you enjoyed it! Yea the caffeine content is kinda deceptive because you're eating instead of drinking it.
Amazing! Can’t wait to try this
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!

I always have Coffee Jelly When I visit Japan, Now I know how to make it Thanks you ^-^
You're welcome!
Will try this Chef ☺️
I shop you enjoy it!
@@NoRecipes Thank you Chef!
Wow amazing recipe. Was curious how much coffee goes in how much water? Can I use instant coffee
The ingredients are listed in the video description. You can also click through to my website for a full printable recipe.
Look delicious 😜
Thanks Anabela!
What would this be like with a little coffee liqueur added to the jelly before setting? I think it would be good! 美味しい
Great idea! You could also add a drizzle of liqueur after making it.
Some boy with pink hair teleported me here
same he also had green glasses
Is it okay to use coldbrew coffee for this?
Btw i love your voice! It just makes me happy to listen to it.^^
Thank you! Yes cold brew coffee would work great for this.
@@NoRecipes Perfect! I got a few liters of this, cant wait to make it!
So true though
Excellent. I recently tried Japanese jelly deserts and have been waiting to make them myself. Question, what brand of agar agar do you recommend?
For this recipe, I used this brand: www.amazon.co.jp/かんてんぱぱ-伊那食品-徳用かんてんクック-4g×20p/dp/B003Q46ZE2 Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to try any US brands so I'm not sure which ones will work best for this.

4 cups of coffee is 120ml ×4? or 240ml x4?
1 US cup = 237 ml, so you're going to want about 946ml of coffee.
@@NoRecipes thanks 😊
Is there any need to add gelatin ?
Hi Rania, this is gelled with Agar. You can make it using gelatin if you want but you'll need to figure out the right ratio of gelatin to coffee as it has a different gelling power than Agar.

What does it taste like?
It tastes like coffee, but the texture of the jelly turns it into something new.
Can i use gelatin powder instead of agar agar?
If i use then can i heat it in the same way ??
Hi Mobeen, I haven't tested the recipe with gelatin, so you'll need to experiment to find out the right amount of gelatin to add. As for heating, the same method should work.
@@NoRecipes thanks 😍
Is there any other way to replace the heavy cream? Cause it is quite hard to get it in my area.
You could use coconut milk or coconut cream.

I was about to skip thinking it was ad too 😭
The way you started was funny sorry
