Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (118 ml) unsweetened chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- 3 ounces (85 grams) raspberry jello
- ⅔ cup (133 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (118 ml) half and half milk
- 1 cup (237 ml) boiling water
- 2 cups (474 ml) cold water
- ½ cup (118 ml) cold water
- 1 ½ cups (355 ml) whipped cream or cool whip
Instructions
- Glass Positioning: Stabilize wine glasses diagonally within a muffin tin to create perfect serving and chilling environment.
- Gelatin Preparation: Dissolve gelatin completely by mixing with boiling water, stirring until granules disappear, then incorporate cold water to initiate partial setting.
- Cream Integration: Gently fold whipped cream into partially set gelatin mixture, creating a smooth, uniform raspberry layer, then carefully distribute into prepared glasses.
- Chocolate Layer Setup: Bloom gelatin over half-and-half milk, allowing two minutes of undisturbed resting before introducing cold water and blending chocolate and sugar until achieving silky consistency.
- Cooking Chocolate Mixture: Simmer chocolate blend on medium-low heat for 8-12 minutes, stirring periodically until mixture thickens and coats spoon’s back, then remove from heat and cool thoroughly.
- Layer Assembly: Delicately pour cooled chocolate mixture over chilled raspberry layer, ensuring complete and even coverage, then return glasses to refrigerator.
- Chilling and Garnishing: Refrigerate for additional hour to set completely, then just before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves for elegant presentation.
Notes
- Stabilize Glasses: Use a muffin tin to keep wine glasses steady while chilling, preventing accidental spills and ensuring even layering.
- Bloom Gelatin Properly: Allow gelatin to absorb liquid completely without lumps, which guarantees a smooth texture and consistent dessert structure.
- Control Gelatin Setting: Monitor the consistency carefully – the mixture should be thick but not fully firm when folding in whipped cream to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Layering Technique: Pour chocolate mixture gently over raspberry layer to create clean, distinct dessert layers without mixing or disturbing the previous layer.
