What is Coffee Jelly?

The name tells you much: Coffee jelly is a kind of jelly flavoured with Ground Coffee Beans. Though often associated with English and American cuisine, today, it is unquestionably most loved in Japan.

Countless restaurants and cafes serve it across the country. It is also a common item found in Japanese households. Nevertheless, the first Coffee jelly recipe appeared in a cookbook in England in 1817.

There are at least two methods when it comes to how to make Coffee jelly. The first is to use agar, a gelatinous ingredient made from algae known as “kanten” in Japanese.

The other, which we’ll be focussing on below, involves gelatin. What does Coffee jelly taste like? It probably wouldn’t surprise you if we said it has a distinctly Coffee flavour. Additionally, it is sweet and creamy with a “bouncy” texture.
