Coffee jelly

[Susanwusan]

I'm hoping to make an Irish coffee dessert this week with the main part being coffee jelly.  Will gelatine set sweetened coffee made from instant coffee granules or will it prevent the set?

Should work fine.

[pastrygirl]

yes, gelatin will set instant coffee

[Katie Meadow]

Not exactly relevant, but is there a good reason to use instant granules to make the coffee or could you just use a good strong brewed coffee? After all, if the dessert looks like jellied Irish coffee w/ whipped cream on top, the main even is the coffee.

[pastrygirl]

What will the 'Irish' component be?  Too much alcohol can interfere with gelatin setting.

We don't use any coffee other than instant, but I did buy something a bit more expensive than normal, L'Or Classique, because it said it was fragrant 🤷‍♀️.  It'll be topped with whiskey cream.
