Drunken Coffee Jello Squares

[Nakor]

I haven't actually tried this recipe (yet) but I thought I'd share anyway, since I know we have some serious coffee lovers here.

Not too big on the "drunken" portion of it, but the coffee jello premise sounds interesting! I'm sure coffeehound will be all over it

Someone in the comments there said they tried it without the liquor and it worked out fine that way too.

LOL Coffee jello. I kinda wonder why Jello themselves hadn't come up with this yet, minus the booze, obviously. Honestly, why even bother adding the alkeehol? Way to ruin perfectly good coffee jello.

I hate Jello. =/

TBH I don't really like gelatin either. Yet I'm pondering trying this particular variation...

What is wrong with you people? Jello is nice and cold and boingy, and can be made to taste like almost anything you want. You can play with it at the same time as you eat it. What's not to like?

I don't mind jello... but coffee... BLARG...

I think I'll pass.

The question is whether he likes booze in his coffee or not. You gonna try making these, dude? If you do, you'll have to let us know how they turn out.

Kahlua = win in Creme Brulee! I don't really care all that much for it in a cup of coffee though.... I am sure the gelatin in the squares would be pretty innocuous. I think this recipe is incomplete in that something could be done to make them more appealing, like ganache or something.... I dunno, it is late and I don't feel too creative right now...

[Frong]

Ganache? On a jello square? Man, that's a dichotomy between fancy and everyman food.

I think chocolate certainly goes with coffee and lends itself to this recipe very well. The squares are more rubbery than jello. I think it could be taken a little far if one were to decorate the petit four like confections with really teeny swirls or writing or something....

Very creative/interesting idea!
