Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 20kcal
- 2 cups water
- 4 teaspoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons erythritol powder
- 1/8 teaspoon stevia powder
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Let rest 1 to 2 minutes so the gelatin begins to hydrate.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the coffee and gelatin are fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Pour evenly into 3 cups or ramekins. Cool on the counter for 10 minutes.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until fully set.
Serve topped with unsweetened whipped cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
Recipe Card Tips
- Use erythritol powder, not granular. Granular erythritol in a cold-set dessert can leave a sandy texture. If powder isn't on hand, pulse granular erythritol in a blender until fine before using.
- Don't skip the rest period before heating. Letting the gelatin hydrate for a minute or two in the cold liquid before the burner comes on gives you a smoother, more even set.
- For the cubed presentation, pour the hot liquid into a lightly oiled shallow dish, chill, then cut into small cubes with a wet knife. A wet blade slides cleaner through set gelatin than a dry one.
