Coffee Jelly

I recently joined "Lutong Pinoy" group in Facebook that shares simple recipes that are affordable, yummy and healthy. Let me share with you the dessert I made this afternoon for tonight, Coffee Jelly.

Here's what you need:

2 packs of Jellee gulaman powder (24g) clear and unflavored

1 sachet of Nescafe 3in1 original

1 sachet of any other coffee brand of your choice, I used Great Taste White

water

1 can condensed milk

1 all purpose cream

sugar

How to prepare:

- Boil 4 cups of water. 

- Then add 1 pack of Jellee gulaman powder and 1 sachet of Nescafe 3in1 coffee.

- Add sugar according to taste.

- Stir for 2-3 minutes.

- Transfer the gulaman in a container and allow the gulaman to be cold and hard.

- Do the same procedure for the next pack of Jellee gulaman powder and 1 sachet of your desired coffee.

- In a bowl, mix condensed milk and all purpose cream until evenly combined. 

- Once the gulaman is ready, cut into cubes and transfer to bowl of the combined condense milk and all purpose cream and mix evenly.

- Put the coffee jelly in freezer until ready to serve.

This is nice for special occasions and even for the upcoming Christmas! So easy to prepare! It tastes so good when served chilled.

Holidays!

Merry Christmas to all! I know that everyone is so busy cooking for Noche Buena tonight, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. I am currently at work and so me and my husband decided we'll have Christmas lunch tomorrow.

So what are you preparing tonight? For my family, we don't cook much on Christmas day. Our menu for tomorrow's lunch are as follows:

Inihaw na tilapia
Fiesta Ham
Spaghetti (my specialty, haha)
Graham cake (we already ate half of it today!)

I still don't have menu for New Year but my hubby wants to have barbecue and Graham cake again. I will try my best to post pictures of our menu for tomorrow, before the graham cake is gone. LOL.

Also, if I may just add, I didn't buy presents for everyone this year. I just bought shoes for my hubby, perfume for my daughter's nanny, I bought myself a floral blouse, and Disney spoon and fork and toys for my daughter. Aside from I am on a tight budget, I told myself that I will just make it up with all of them next year since we just finish all the debts this year. Fresh start for next year! I plan to start Christmas shopping in October.

In my opinion, it is not a requirement that you have lots of food, though it is great when you have plenty of food on your table, or you give everyone presents or you receive lots of presents. I believe that what is important is that everyone is happy, family are together and children cherish this Christmas season because Christmas is special for children.

So, Merry Christmas to each and everyone, no matter where you are, alone or with someone dear, at work or at home. May this season bring more blessings to all of us! Cheers!!
