Tip #1

Dissolved: Make sure the gelatin and coffee powders are completely dissolved in the boiling water to prevent any gritty textures in your jelly.

Tip #2

Cool Before Refrigerating: Allow the coffee gelatin mixture to reach room temperature before refrigerating. This prevents condensation which can affect the setting process.

Tip #3

Uniform Cubes: When cutting the gelatin into cubes, aim for uniform sizes to ensure each serving has an equal amount of jelly and cream mixture, enhancing the overall texture and taste of the dessert.
