I'm not sure why it took me so long to get on the unflavored gelatin wagon. Turn any liquid into Jell-o?? I'm in!
Americano Jelly
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (could use sheets, too, I imagine, but the Knox stuff is available everywhere)
1 c. cool water
1 c. hot espresso
Brew some espresso (or just make some strong coffee).
Meanwhile, soften gelatin over cool water. (I just want to poke it!)
Line a 8-inch square pan with plastic wrap.
Mix hot espresso into gelatin mixture, and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved (4-5 min). Add some sugar, to taste. Or don't. Or substitute a little cool milk for some of the water (a latte jelly!). Or don't. It's your jelly - do what you like!
Pour into pan! Refrigerate until set! Cut into cubes!
Jelly cubes! Look how cute!
Cubes at the bottom of my iced coffee, all boba-style. Word.
Tonight's dinner: Pizza Bianca with olive oil, fresh basil, rosemary, parmesan, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and prosciutto. The crust was AMAZING. Beats the socks off the Publix dough we usually use and doesn't take much work - just time.
Earlier tonight: Cocoa and Sea-Salt Shortbreads again, but with darker cocoa (still no cacao nibs). Inky-black and highly addictive - even more so than the first batch.
Later tonight: Fresh yogurt, and some homemade pop-tarts (made from this summer's blackberry jam and empenada dough.
