PROCEDURE
Grease a 6×6 square pan or any molder with canola oil. Set aside.
Prepare Coffee Jelly: In a sauce pan, combine together gelatin, coffee, sugar and water. Keep stirring until completely dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour half mixture into the square pan or molder. Cool in the fridge until set. Set aside the other half coffee jelly mixture.
Prepare GreenTea Jelly: In another sauce pan, combine together gelatin, green tea powder, water and condensed milk. Keep stirring until completely dissolved and well mixed. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour half green tea jelly mixture onto the top of cooled and firmed coffee jelly to create a second layer. Cool in the fridge. Set aside the other half gelatin mixture. Start reheating the remaining half coffee jelly mixture and pour over on top of the second layer which is the firmed green tea jelly. Do the same procedure with the remaining green tea jelly mixture. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
Prepare Matcha Ice Cream: In a mixer bowl, beat whipping cream together with green tea powder until double in volume. Whisk in the softened ice cream. Transfer to a covered container. Freeze until firm and ready to use.
