St. Patrick's Day: Irish Coffee Jelly

Source of Recipe


From "Irish Countryhouse Cooking" by Rosie Tinn



List of Ingredients



• 1-1/2 cups very strong coffee
  
• 2 Tbsp superfine sugar
  
• 2 envelopes (1/2-ounce) powdered gelatin
  
• 1-1/2 cups Irish whiskey
  
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
  






Instructions



1. Put the coffee into a small saucepan, add the sugar, and set over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and the coffee just begins to simmer.
   
   
2. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin and stir until it is completely dissolved. Let cool a bit longer and stir in the whiskey.
   
   
3. Divide the liquid jelly into small serving glasses or cups and chill until completely set, about 2 hours (more or less, depending on the size of the container).
   To serve, use a whisk to whip the cream. Add a dollop to each serving.
