Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ounces (85 grams) raspberry jello
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup unsweetened chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups whipped cream or cool whip
- ½ cup half and half milk
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
Instructions
- Preparation: Stabilize wine glasses diagonally within a muffin tin to prevent tipping during the chilling process.
- Raspberry Layer Genesis: Dissolve gelatin with boiling water, integrating completely. Blend with cold water and allow to partially set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until reaching a thick, semi-solid consistency.
- Cream Integration: Fold whipped cream into the semi-set gelatin mixture until uniformly distributed, creating a smooth raspberry base.
- First Chilling Phase: Pour raspberry mixture into wine glasses and refrigerate for 2 hours to ensure complete solidification.
- Chocolate Layer Preparation: Sprinkle gelatin over half and half milk in a saucepan. Whisk in cold water, then incorporate chocolate and sugar, cooking over medium-low heat while continuously stirring until the mixture coats a spoon smoothly.
- Cooling Chocolate Mixture: Remove chocolate from heat and allow to cool completely to room temperature, preventing premature setting.
- Layer Assembly: Extract raspberry-set glasses from refrigerator and carefully pour cooled chocolate mixture over the raspberry layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Final Chilling: Return glasses to refrigerator and chill for an additional hour to set the chocolate layer firmly.
- Presentation: Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves just before serving, creating an elegant and visually appealing dessert.
Notes
- Stabilize Glasses: Use a muffin tin to prevent wobbling and ensure precise pouring of layers without spills or accidents.
- Gelatin Technique: Let gelatin partially set before folding in cream to achieve a smooth, creamy texture without lumps or separation.
- Temperature Control: Cool chocolate mixture completely to room temperature before layering to prevent melting or disrupting the raspberry layer.
- Layering Precision: Pour chocolate mixture slowly and carefully over raspberry layer to create clean, distinct color separation without mixing.
