Sambuca jellies

  • Portion size: Serves 8
  • Takes 20 min to make, plus cooling and at least 2 hours’ setting
  • Difficulty: easy

Sambuca’s aniseed flavour is complemented by the creamy coffee layer. To save time, try floating a layer of Irish cream liqueur on top of the jellies instead of the coffee cream.

Method

  1. Put the gelatine sheets in a bowl and pour over 150ml cold water. Once they have softened, microwave on High for 30 seconds and stir to dissolve. Mix in the sambuca, then pour into 8 liqueur or shot glasses and leave in the fridge to set overnight, or for at least a couple of hours.
  2. Put the sugar in a medium bowl, pour over the hot coffee and stir to dissolve. Leave to cool, then stir in the whiskey and cream and whip until slightly thickened.
  3. Pour a thin layer of the coffee cream on top of the jellies and sprinkle with the coffee beans. Chill for 2 hours. Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before serving.
