Black Sambo

Black Sambo is a two-layered gelatin-based dessert made of chocolate and creamy milk jelly pudding. An easy to prepare dessert that you can make ahead for any occasion.  
You can set them into desired containers of your choice like gelatin molds, bundt pan, rectangular glass container, mini cups or mini wine glass like I used here. 
A perfect dessert for chocolate and gelatin lovers. Simply sumptuous! Top with whipped cream and dust with powdered sugar. The best! 

​Please note that Mr. Gulaman gelatin brand was used to make this recipe. If using other brand, please make sure to follow packaging directions on dilution and use your best judgement to adjust the water.
