Caffè al cucchiaio

Caffè per tutti. After watermelon, tangerine and lemon, another jelly recipe. The adding of cinnamon is fundamental. Just make sure to sift the pieces out. 

The easiest way is to brew coffee with a moka pot. Capsule coffee does the trick. Drip coffee instead doesn’t.

Notes

Gelo di caffè is not a difficult recipe to execute though the result is monumental. Cream goes very well with this dessert. Taste and chromatic-wise. You could add some coffee liquid or amaro. When doing so, cut down on the sugar.Gelo di caffè goes well with blancmange. Layered if you have time and patience. One next to the other is more than acceptable.
