Espresso Martini Jelly
Recipe from Sunny Cho
Classy, caffeinated, and just a little chaotic. This espresso martini jelly takes the beloved cocktail and transforms it into a boozy, jiggly dessert. Cold brew meets vodka and coffee liqueur, topped with a whipped cream laced with Baileys and orange zest. It’s creamy, strong, and undeniably fun.

What You'll Need
Ingredients
For the Jelly
3 cups strong cold brew coffee
5 tablespoons powdered gelatin
1½ cups vodka
1½ cups coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
For the Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
1 teaspoon orange zest
To Garnish
Chocolate shavings
Candied orange peel
Directions
Step 1
In the Mini Perfect Pot Pro , combine cold brew and gelatin. Let sit 1 minute to bloom, then gently bring to a simmer, whisking until fully dissolved.
Step 2
Turn off the heat and stir in vodka and coffee liqueur.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a griddle pan or shallow dish. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or until fully set.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar, Baileys, and orange zest until soft peaks form. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Step 5
Once the jelly is set, cut it into 1-inch cubes. Lightly toss the cubes in a bowl (or give them a dramatic “love slap”) to break them up.
Step 6
Spoon jelly cubes into serving glasses . Top with Baileys whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and candied orange peel.
