Serves: 8

Ingredients

1/3 cup cold water
1 packet unflavored gelatin
2 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 1/2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey Organic Fairtrade Madagascar Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Peppermint Extract
1/2 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Coffee Extract
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (garnish)

Instructions

Place 8 mini martini glasses or dessert molds on a small rimmed sheet pan; set aside.
In a small glass measuring cup, add water. Sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
To a medium saucepan, add whipping cream, sugar, coffee, vanilla, peppermint and coffee extracts; stir to combine.
Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and the cream just begins to gently boil.
Reduce heat; add softened gelatin, stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Equally fill glasses with mixture, about 1/4 cup each.
Chill in refrigerator until firm, about 2-3 hours. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder.
