  • 55 grams evaporated cane sugar (~1/4 cup)
  • 4 grams agar-agar powder (~2 teaspoons)
  • 4 cups coffee
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Method
 

  1. To make the jelly, put the 55 grams evaporated cane sugar and 4 grams agar-agar powder into a pot, then add the 4 cups coffee. Stir while bringing to a boil.
  2. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil, remove from heat and pour into an 8 x 8-inch mold. Let cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate to fully set.
  3. To make the sauce, add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk to a bowl and stir until combined. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
