Originally from Japan, coffee jelly has now its very own Filipino version. Given that earthy taste of coffee and the sweet and frothy white cream, this dessert is different from the usual cakes and pastries.
For people who don’t enjoy sweets too much because of the sore throats afterwards, then you should definitely try this recipe. Because of the coffee, the sweetness of the cream is properly balanced yet you still have this refreshing taste from it. Filipinos have already enjoyed the buko pandan gulaman, this is a must for Filipinos to try. Take a different turn from hot coffee but looking at this recipe!
