Coffee Jelly with Zabaglione

Zabaglione or Sabayon is an Italian custard sauce made with egg yolks and sugar and Marsala wine, but I like to use a bit of brandy or whisky (I love that smell.. I don’t drink except for wine so using brandy or whisky for cooking is the only way I can really enjoy them).

I think it’s perfect for coffee jelly for a simple but luscious dessert.

It’s whipped into a smooth, silky consistency, it’s actually good to eat by itself but I don’t, I usually make it for tiramisu, it’s a must. I never make it without the zabaglione.

I like to add some heavy cream to the sabayon before adding to the coffee jelly but if you are lactose-intolerant skip the cream.

For those on keto diet, I included sugar-free option in the recipe, I indicated the amount of erythritol (sugar substitute I use) and of course the heavy cream.

It’s a good way to use leftover brewed coffee, should you have any.

This is so easy to make, it’s the waiting that’s hard but you can use that time to make the zabaglione and do other stuf

Dissolve gelatin powder in room temperature coffee. Add the rest of the coffee, stir well, cover and chill in the fridge until set
To make the zabaglione/sabayon, put egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and whisk. Using double-boiler or set a the bowl over pan/pot of simmering water over medium heat
add 1-2 tbsps brandy, whisky and continue to whisk the mixture over pot of simmering water
..until mixture becomes thick and smooth and double in volume
when coffee jelly has set, slice into cubes
add cream to the zabaglione if using, and whip using whisk
Then add coffee jelly cubes and toss gently to coat.
Transfer to a container and put in the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
