Coffee and Cream Jelly Variation: Do not mold the jelly. Refrigerate in the mixing bowl in which it was made. When it begins to stiffen, beat it until it is light and foamy. Beat 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar. Fold the whipped cream and whipped jelly together and place in a mold. Chill thoroughly.
