Coffee Gelee` for Taste Creations

I am the odd ball at my house as I do not drink coffee.  I absolutely love the way it smells but I have never found a way to enjoy coffee.  Until now.

Our Taste Creations bloggers decided on coffee for our challenge this month.  I knew I would have to work hard at finding something that I would want to share.  My husband knows a lot about coffee and how to prepare it in different ways, so I considered having him write the post.

Then I heard about coffee gelee`.


Coffee Gelee` is a satiny sort of jello (it seems a shame to compare the two, but you can maybe understand a bit better!)  It is so refreshing, and the bitterness of coffee is nearly non-existant!

  4. Looks good! I don't really like coffee that much, either! But I don't mind coffee flavoring (like tiramisu or cafe mocha), so this recipe might be a good one for me! I just can't drink coffee straight.

  5. I'm with you--I'm not a coffee drinker, but I LOVE the smell, and I like coffee flavored things (like ice cream). I've never tried a gelee, but I'm completely intrigued!

  16. I don't drink coffee except of mixed coffee -like cappucino, mocha- but everything with coffee flavor is heaven for me. This is a cool idea, enjoy the coffee in different way.
