    Japanese Style Coffee Jelly Recipe

    Published: Apr 19, 2014 · Modified: Aug 12, 2016 by Bren

    A favorite summertime treat is Japanese Style Coffee Jelly. It’s called jelly in Japan, but would be considered coffee-flavored jell-o in the US. You can eat it as a dessert, but I prefer it served in iced coffee drinks. It is like bubble-tea, but made with coffee.

    BrenDid Cold Brewed Coffee I first had coffee jelly at Disney Sea (a Disneyland park outside of Tokyo). It was served in a latte with crushed ice and a dollop of soft serve ice cream. It was love at first sip. I even took a picture it was so delicious (and pretty, like most Japanese food.) We have lived in Japan twice (once from 2003-2005 and again from 2012-2014) and loved experiencing the people and the culture! When we live in the United States I miss many of the foods and drinks available in Japan. Some I get at Asian markets in the U.S. and others I have tried my best to recreate.BrenDid coffee jelly Frappuccino You can even get coffee jelly at Starbucks in Japan. It is served as a Frappuccino drink. I’ve included my copycat recipe at the end of the post. If you love coffee, I hope you try Japanese style coffee jelly!

    • 1 1/2 cups cold brewed coffee concentrate (get my recipe here)
