Shaky Jake Java Napoleon

Directions

1. 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. 2
   Boil the remaining two cups of water and dissolve the sugar into it.
3. 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. 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. 5
   *Fiori di Sicilia is a citrus extract. It's quite useful in desserts. Available through King Arthur Flour.
