Dark milk jello.

We love jello, but wish there was something between the kid stuff and Panna cotta. (Heavy cream is extremely expensive now.) So we came up with a medium ground that keeps every one happy, but now we add a twist with the chocolate.. A couple of black berries never hurts either.

Step 1 What's needed:

1 quart whole milk. (evaporated milk, whipping cream, half-n-half, or whatever can be substituted).
1/2 cup sugar (brown sugar gives a different taste).
2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin. (Most grocery stores carry it, but sometimes try to hide it)
2 heaping tablespoons unsweetened chocolate.
3 teaspoons warm water to bloom gelatin.
Vanilla extract (to taste) (equivalent of 1/2 half vanilla bean)

Tools:
Stove
2 quart saucepan
Teaspoon
Heatproof stirring spoon.
Small bowl to bloom gelatin.
Heatproof bowl large enough to hold jello mixture. (sometimes I just put the saucepan in the fridge to save washing items.)
Refrigerator
Optional: Instant thermometer
