A refreshing dessert made with strong coffee set with agar-agar, served with a sweetened condensed milk sauce and toppings of your choice.
Ingredients
- 600 ml Brewed strong coffee (or water + instant coffee powder)
- 1 packet Packet of powdered kanten (agar-agar)
- 67 g Sugar
- 45 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 45 ml Milk
- to taste Toppings of your choice (optional; whipped cream, coffee beans, mint leaves)
Method
- Pour the strong coffee (or the water if using instant coffee) into a small saucepan. Add the kanten (agar-agar) powder. Whisk and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the agar-agar has dissolved completely.
- Remove from the heat, add the sugar (and the instant coffee powder if using). Whisk until dissolved.
- Run a rectangular mold (about 15×14 cm or 20×20 cm) under cold water without drying it. Pour the hot mixture into the mold. For individual portions, let it cool for 5 minutes, then pour into glasses.
- Remove the bubbles from the surface with a kitchen torch or spoon. Let cool at room temperature until the jelly sets (about 45 to 60 minutes).
- Cover the mold with a paper towel and plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours.
- Remove the mold from the refrigerator, run a knife around the edges, unmold onto a cutting board, and cut into cubes about 1.3 cm wide.
- Divide the cubes among serving bowls. Pour over the prepared sweetened condensed milk sauce. Add toppings of your choice (whipped cream, coffee beans, mint). Enjoy.
