Description
A refreshing, high-protein coffee jelly made with strong brewed coffee, layered with a creamy vanilla protein milk mixture. Light, jiggly, and naturally sweetened, this chilled treat is perfect for breakfast, snack time, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 scoop (about 30 grams) vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup of the brewed coffee into a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Warm the remaining 1 1/2 cups of coffee in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Pour the coffee gelatin mixture into an 8×8 inch glass dish and refrigerate for about 45 minutes, until slightly set but not fully firm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, milk, and maple syrup until smooth and lump free.
- Gently pour the protein milk mixture over the partially set coffee layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully firm.
- Slice into cubes and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for the best flavor balance.
- Allow the first layer to partially set before adding the second layer to keep layers defined.
- Taste the protein mixture before pouring and adjust sweetness if needed.
