Ingredients
Scale
Bottom Layer (Espresso Layer):
- 1 cup freshly brewed espresso, cooled
- 1/2 cup Kahlúa (coffee liqueur)
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
Top Layer (Creamy Layer):
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup vanilla vodka
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
Instructions
- Prepare the Espresso Layer:
- In a bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin over cooled espresso. Let it bloom for 2 minutes.
- Add Kahlúa to the espresso mixture, stirring until the gelatin dissolves. (If needed, gently heat the mixture to fully dissolve gelatin.)
- Pour into shot glasses or silicone molds, filling halfway. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
- Prepare the Creamy Layer:
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle 1 envelope of gelatin over sweetened condensed milk. Let it bloom for 2 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla vodka until the gelatin dissolves completely. (Heat gently if needed.)
- Carefully pour over the set espresso layer, filling molds to the rim. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chocolate-covered espresso beans or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a sophisticated touch. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace Kahlúa with coffee syrup and vanilla vodka with cream soda or vanilla extract.
- To create perfect layers, make sure the espresso layer is fully set before adding the creamy layer.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
