- 1 pouch clear jelly powder (gulaman/agar agar) - (25g) see Note 1 for gelatin powder
- 5 cups tap water
- 2-3 tablespoons instant coffee powder - adjust according to preference
- 4-5 tablespoons granulated sugar - adjust according to preference
- 1 small can sweetened condensed milk - (168ml per can)
- 2 packs all-purpose cream - (250ml per pack)
In a pot, add water and gradually sprinkle jelly powder, stir until dissolved.
Bring to a soft boil then remove from heat. Add sugar and coffee powder and stir until completely dissolved.
Pour mixture in a 9x9-inch square pan and let it cool to set.
Using a knife, cut through the coffee jelly horizontally and then vertically to make cubes. It could be big or small cubes.
In a large bowl or container with lid, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and all-purpose cream until well combined. Add the coffee jelly cubes and mix again. Cover and chill.
It is best served cold.
Note 1. Gelatin powder can also be used and I would recommend using Knox but you may have to adjust the amount, 1 envelope =2 cups of water, so you will need 3 envelopes. The procedure is also different. You just dissolve the gelatin in hot water or hot coffee and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
Note 2. I only used a small can of sweetened condensed milk (168ml) while I added 2 packs of cream (=500ml). This is a personal preference as we prefer desserts not to be overly too sweet. You can adjust this if you like it sweeter.
Note 3. I added sugar to the coffee jelly, again a personal choice. You can adjust or skip it altogether if you like.
