Ingredients

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup boiling water
1 1/3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
1/3 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa or HERSHEY’S Dutch-Processed Cocoa
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a blender container; let stand 4 minutes to soften. Gently stir with a rubber spatula, scraping gelatin particles from the sides; add boiling water to the gelatin mixture. Cover and blend until gelatin dissolves.
Add milk powder, cocoa, vanilla, and salt; blend on medium speed until well mixed. Add sugar substitute and ice cubes; blend on high speed until the ice is crushed and the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Immediately pour into a 4-cup mold. Cover and refrigerate until firm. Unmold onto a serving plate. Eight individual dessert dishes may be used in place of the mold, if desired.
