Copycat Saiki K Coffee Jelly Recipe (Coffee Jello)
Saiki K coffee jelly or kohii zerii is a Japanese-inspired dessert that is featured in a popular anime show called “Disastrous Life of Saiki K”. This popular dessert is served in individual cups with swirls of whipped cream or cut into cubes with a drizzle of condensed milk.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- ¼ cup water
- 2 cups brewed black coffee
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Mix the gelatin powder with ¼ cup of water in a small bowl.
- Heat the coffee and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
- Cool for ten minutes at room temperature before pouring the coffee jelly mixture into an 8x8-inch square baking dish. Refrigerate for at least four hours or until set.
- Once the coffee jello is set, cut it into ½-inch cubes.
- Serve in stemware or individual bowls. Top with your favorite topping choice between whipped cream, condensed milk, or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Taste and adjust the strength of coffee and sweetener as needed. Take a small sip before you add the gelatin. That way, you will know exactly what the jello will taste like once it sets.
- Measure precisely - Making jello, like baking, calls for precise measurements. The texture of the jelly will vary depending on the amount of liquid you have used.
- Leave the jelly alone - Once you have added the hot jelly mixture to the mold, leave the jelly alone for a few hours. Do not mix it or disturb it in any way and it will set perfectly with the ideal wobble.
- Fun shapes - Use fun molds in the shape of hearts, round balls, or characters to add oomph to your dessert.
