Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups brewed coffee
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat and dissolve gelatin: In a saucepan, gently heat the brewed coffee over medium heat. Add the gelatin powder while stirring continuously until it is completely dissolved, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add protein powder: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the protein powder until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
  3. Incorporate water and sweetener: Add the cold water and sweetener (if using). Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Set mixture in molds: Pour the coffee protein mixture into molds or a shallow dish. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the jello is fully set and firm to the touch.
  5. Serve chilled: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and serve the protein coffee jello chilled. Enjoy this nutritious, refreshing coffee-flavored treat!

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality brewed coffee for robust flavor.
  • Adjust sweetener to taste or omit for a more natural coffee flavor.
  • Choose unflavored or complementary flavored protein powder to suit your preference.
  • Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture.
  • Serve immediately after setting to enjoy the best texture.
