Tastes like a creamy coffee drink in jelly form, but not as sweet. Great with whipped cream.

I have made this wonderful recipe a few times now and so far everyone who has tried it absolutely loves it. You can also substitute the half-and-half with low fat or fat free milk to reduce the calories.

I couldn't wait to try this recipe! It tastes exactly like you think it will, creamy, sweet coffee jello. It is a snap to whip up. I used decaf brewed coffee and fat-free half n half. I poured it into a metal bowl and it set up great. I'm the only one in the family who likes coffee, so I'll be enjoying this myself (with a dollop of whipped cream). I've always liked Mr. Food, too!
