Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons dark roast coffee, finely ground
2 1/4 cups boiling hot water
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 (1 1/2 teaspoon) envelope unflavoured gelatin
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1/4 teaspoon curry powder

Steps:

Brew ground coffee in filter style coffeemaker or a sieve lined with a paper filter using 2 cups boiling hot water. Meanwhile, bring granulated sugar and remaining 1/4 cup hot water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat. Sprinkle gelatin over 1 Tbsp cold water and let soften one minute. Stir together hot coffee, sugar syrup, and vanilla in a metal bowl, then add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Chill, covered, until softly set, at least 8 hours.
For topping, force brown sugar through a sieve into bowl, then add cream and curry. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until it just holds soft peaks.
Divide gelee among 10 espresso cups (or other similar size cups) and top with a dollop of the cream.
