How to Make Coffee And Cream Parfait

  1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand for 1 minute to bloom.
  2. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, and 1/4 cup instant coffee granules (or 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee) until sugar and coffee are dissolved.
  4. Pour the coffee mixture into a 1-quart bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
  5. Once the coffee mixture is firm, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  6. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur (if using), continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently run a fork through the set coffee gelatin to break it into smaller pieces.
  8. Spoon 1/2 cup of the gelatin mixture into each of 4 parfait glasses.
  9. Top with half of the whipped cream mixture.
  10. Repeat layers with remaining gelatin and whipped cream.
  11. Garnish with grated chocolate before serving.
