This took a bit of concentration in terms of preparing each step but was not difficult. Trickiest business was getting stemmed glasses into the fridge without sloshing contents about. The result was quite amazing - looks beautiful and the combination of coffee and lemon is unexpectedly delicious. Not too sweet. Guests ate it up. Thanks for the clear recipe. PS. I used gelatine sheets and it worked fine, converting based on amount of liquid to be set. I soaked sheets in cold water and drained them before adding to indicated total recipe quantities of cream/water.

I made these last night for company that's arriving today. They look almost as beautiful as the ones in the photo above - can't wait to find out how they taste!!! It was definitely easier than I thought to prepare such a beautiful looking dessert!

Mmmmmm, really good! The presentation definitely wowed my guest! The coffee gelee layer was close to too overwhelming but i can adjust that for my tastes next time. I loooooved the lemon vanilla layer :)

This is ridiculous! It could be dessert at any great restaurant, and you make it very accessible.

Thanks, fiveandspice. The real beauty of these is that while they look fancy, they are SO easy to make. Crafting each layer takes only minutes, the only bit that takes any time is the waiting between layers for the gelatin to set.

It's funny but I never use them for martinis, just desserts. Kinda sad now that I'm thinking about it.

Ahh...I made the Claudia Fleming recipe a few years ago...what a lovely recipe and a great cookbook. Your variation sounds great -- perhaps I'll dust off the old martini glasses and give it a whirl! I've recently started using Starbucks VIA in place of espresso powder. It's a good substitute and easy to come by.
