Japanese dessert: Coffee Jelly

I love coffee jelly though its an unusual dessert compare to its Philippine counter part. Filipino desserts are usually made with bananas (saba), rice (kakanin) and with sugar. For those who are on a diet, you can get rid of the cream, chocolate syrup, and the sugar.



Ingredients:
   for base coffee jelly
      1/2 pack gelatin
      3 tbsp. sugar
      1/4 c. tap water
      1 c. brewed coffee
   for top coffe jelly
      1/2 pack gelatin
      3 tbsp. sugar
      1/4 c. cold evaporated milk
      1 c. 3 in 1 coffee mix. (I prefer Great Taste white coffee)

Toppings:
Heavy cream in can
Brown Cow chocolate syrup
Mix the gelatin, sugar and water together in a small pan and cook for 5 minutes under low fire. Add the coffee and keep on stirring constantly until the gelatin dissolves and the liquid is clear. Pour half-filled into individual cups and chill until firm.

Spray the heavy cream on top and glaze it with brown cow chocolate syrup!

Starbuck's Heaven on Earth dessert

Heaven on Earth.. What a catchy name for a flan-like dessert.. I saw this at Starbuck's Gateway when I went there to relax at around 9PM after shopping at SM North and Trinoma. The dessert consists of different layers with series of flavors that compliment each other. The top part has a gelatin-like texture. It's sweetness is just right and I love it. But I observed that you should eat this dessert slowly to prevent getting yourself bored with it or "naumay". I paired it with my usual order in Starbucks.. The Grande size Chocolate Chip Cream frap. I have a sweet tooth so it's ok to have 2 similarly flavored foods.

While eating the dessert, there's this 90s song that starts to play in my head.
"♪♫ Oh, heaven do you know what that's what?
 Oh, heaven is a place on earth
 They say in heaven, love comes first
 You make heaven in a place called earth ♪♫"

Presentation: 5 stars
Taste: 3 stars
Value for money: 3 stars

Score: 3 stars!

Well, to sum it up. I would say that it's good to try this once in a while to relax.
