Daring food pioneer, or delusional?

OKAY, HEAR ME OUT.
You can mix sugar free jello with diet soda, juice, vodka, or put fruit in it.
( So what would happen if you were to mix... )

thats funny you posted this because I just bought a few boxes of suagr free jell-o i used to practically live off that and cucumbers & I was wondering what else i could do with it. if you try it, post how it came out.

LOL. i want to know what this japanese dessert is. but upon clicking this and having not known that there was such a dessert in existence, i went O_O to ._. in a few seconds. i'm not really sure if that would sit well in my stomach, hahaha. you should experiment and relay your results to us. :3

I've had problems getting the coffee to not sink towards the bottom when the gelatin sets, leaving a gross unflavored mass at the top. :/ There must be some kind of secret to this I haven't figured out yet!

have you tried preparing the coffee, then adding it to the gelatin? that should hope since they're both liquid at that point, and the temperature is kinda the same too?

I just dissolved the coffee right into the boiling gelatin (it's an instant type). It looked fine until it started to get firm... I think it might work better if I let the gelatin cool and set up for an hour or so before mixing in the coffee?

maybe that would work... there must be some chemistry to it, the coffee should be acting like water to the gelatin. what if you brewed the coffee first, and mixed that with the gelatin mixture?

vee_bot June 10 2010, 22:55:49 UTC

I think that would help. The tiny particles of coffee must be too heavy for the gelatin to suspend, until it sets up. Probably brewed coffee that's been through a paper filter would work out better, less granules to deal with!

right! definatley let me konw how this goes? probably need some variations once you get the coffee gelatin base correct...

I think I found a recipe that would work out! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=570995 It even uses splenda! :D I'm definitely going to try it!
