Shaky Jake Java Napoleon

  1. Brew the coffee. I like to use the French press method. Allow it to cool down and then chill in the refrigerator until cold.
  2. Boil the remaining two cups of water and dissolve the sugar into it.
  3. Empty the gelatin packets into a large bowl. Pour the hot water over, followed by the cold coffee. Stir in the vanilla extract and the fiori di Sicilia. Mix well and transfer to a flat glass baking dish (e.g. Pyrex). Cover and chill for at least three hours or overnight.
  4. Using a small offset spatula carefully slice the gelatin into rectangles (one per portion). With the edge of the spatula or the blade a sharp knife slice the first rectangle in half horizontally to create two layers of gelatin. Place the first layer on a plate and top with a scoop of marmalade and a spoonful or two of whipped cream. Carefully replace the top rectangle (this is tricky) and finish with more cream. This should yield six to eight portions. E Voila! Napoleon wins again.
  5. *Fiori di Sicilia is a citrus extract. It's quite useful in desserts. Available through King Arthur Flour.
