Instructions
- Select high-quality coffee and brew at optimal temperature, creating an intense and aromatic liquid base for the dessert.

Notes
- Experiment with different coffee types like espresso or cold brew to enhance the depth of flavor and create unique taste variations.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream to reduce calories and add a tangy twist.
- Vegans can replace gelatin with agar-agar powder and use coconut condensed milk for a plant-based alternative that maintains a similar creamy texture.
- Transform the dessert into individual portion cups or a decorative trifle by layering with crushed cookies or chocolate chunks for added crunch and visual appeal.
