Vietnamese Coffee and Cream Jelly is a layered, refreshing dessert featuring strong Vietnamese coffee and sweet cream, set into a fun and elegant jelly form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup water (for blooming gelatin)
  • 1 cup strong brewed Vietnamese coffee (or espresso)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, brew 1 cup of strong Vietnamese coffee.
  3. Heat the brewed coffee in a saucepan over low heat and dissolve half of the bloomed gelatin into it, stirring well. Add sugar if desired for extra sweetness.
  4. Pour the coffee mixture into molds or glasses, filling halfway. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
  5. In another saucepan, gently warm the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk together.
  6. Stir in the remaining bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  7. Once the coffee layer is set, carefully pour the cream mixture over the coffee layer.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for another 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
  9. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Use a strong brew for authentic flavor; Vietnamese drip coffee is ideal.
  • Adjust sweetness according to preference by modifying the amount of condensed milk and sugar.
  • Make in individual glasses for an elegant presentation.
