I think you have to like iced coffee to appreciate this recipe--and I do and I loved it! DH said it was weird chewing his coffee. I used Splenda instead of sugar and topped with low fat Redi-Whip and sugar-free chocolate sauce. I took it to a brunch and those who were brave enough to try it, liked it.

    Ok I am pleasantly surprised. Was looking for a cool, low fat, low cal coffee based dessert when I came stumbled on to this. I tagged it and then drug my heals when it came to making this. Oh yes fear had me by the taste buds in a strangle hold and oh what had I been thinking when I tagged something called Coffee Jello? But obligation in hand I brewed up the coffee and broke out the Splenda (used 1 cup) and set about making this. After hours of chilling and with the thermostat inching towards 100 F. DH and I sat down to a bowl (with a dollop of fat free Cool Wip). Well wonder of wonders my fears had been for not. This was perfect in so many way low fat, low cal, will not over fill after a heavy meal, along with being cool and refreshing. Thanks so much for the post will be making aging.

    I am not a big fan of jello but I love coffee so decided to try this one! I made one batch with very strong regular coffee and the second batch with homemade Kahlua. Both were incredible! I loved the Kahlua one quite a bit better though. (I wonder why!) With some sweetened whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel I was grinning over this fun dessert! Next time I will be trying a bit of chocolate sauce over it.

    My mother would make coffee jello with banana slices suspended in it. If I was a good boy I got it with whipped cream!
