☕️✨ Spiced Coffee Jelly
Handcrafted • Small Batch • Arizona Inspired
Inspired by the comforting warmth of Mexican Café de Olla, our Spiced Coffee Jelly is a spirited twist on a beloved tradition. Crafted with robust coffee, organic cane sugar, smooth coffee liqueur, and warming spices like cinnamon and star anise, this jelly captures the rich, aromatic essence of a classic spiced coffee, balanced with a subtle boozie flair.
While the alcohol in the coffee liqueur gently evaporates during the slow simmer, it leaves behind a warm, inviting aroma, much like vanilla extract does, infusing the jelly with depth and character. Each small batch is lovingly prepared to bring out deep, cozy flavors that evoke sweet memories.
At Carolyn’s Classics, we’ve transformed this cherished beverage into a versatile, indulgent jelly that’s as delicious on toast as it is on your favorite charcuterie board.

🧠 Fun Fact: Café de Olla
Café de Olla is a traditional Mexican coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar), often enjoyed hot or cold and known for its comforting spices. It’s a drink meant to be shared, savored, and enjoyed slowly—something Chef Sara grew up loving with her family.
