Orange Coffee Jello

Submitted by Mia in Germany

"I love coffee jello and I love the combination of coffee and orange, so I came up with this. For the orange flavour I used orange essence # 340691. For the sweetener I just made up the amount of 1 tablespoon, but as I used rice syrup and don't make my jello really sweet, I'd suggest that you just make your coffee as sweet as you're used to. For the gelatine I used 3/4 bag of ground gelatine (1 bag is for 2 cups of liquid) which I soaked in the orange essence and two tablespoons water and then stirred into the still hot coffee. As packages of ground gelatine don't seem to be listed, I suggest 5 sheets gelatine which you should soak and dissolve according to package directions. Prep / cook time does not include chilling time."

GREAT DESSERT Mia !!. Doubled it for my sister, and husband, and loved it. The orange essense and cocca powder complimented each other very well, but were not overpowering, keeping the flavor great. Needless to say the 4 of us all finished ours, and will definately be making again. Made for your win in Tic Tac Toe.
