This dessert is very chocolatey, as the name suggests. I think you could reduce the amount of chocolate chips, but my husband thinks it needs all of the chocolate. It is very simple and quick to make. It just needs a few hours to chill. A late Valentine's treat.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips*
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract**
- 1 cup (1/2 pt.)cold whipping cream (Get 1 pint to have some for topping)
- Sweetened whipped cream (optional)
Directions
- Stir together sugar and gelatin in small saucepan; stir in milk. Let stand 2 minutes to soften gelatin. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just begins to boil.
- Remove from heat. Immediately add chocolate chips; stir until melted. Stir in vanilla; cool to room temperature.
- Beat whipping cream in small bowl until stiff; gradually add chocolate mixture, folding gently just until blended. Spoon into serving dishes. Refrigerate. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
4 to 6 servings.
*Use milk or semi-sweet if you prefer. Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips are our preferred chips chosen in a blind tasting. We like dark chocolate best.
**I think 1 tablespoon of Amaretto might be a good substitute for the vanilla. Or your favorite liquor flavoring.
