Instructions
- Sprinkle gelatin over water in a medium saucepan; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Add milk powder, egg yolks, cocoa, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil; remove from heat. Stir in sugar and vanilla.
- Pour mixture into a large bowl. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until it mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 1 hour. Fold in 1/2 cup whipped topping. Pour into 6 individual dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
- Garnish each dessert with assorted fresh fruit or additional whipped topping sprinkled with cocoa, if desired. A 3-cup mold may be used in place of individual dishes.
