1 c 2% milk 1 c Water
3/4 c Unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 c Sweetener equiv. to sugar**
5 tb Unflavored gelatin (5 pkg) 1 ts Artificial brandy extract
Preparation 10 min, standing time 4 hours.
In small saucepan, combine milk and cocoa. Whisk until there are no lumps
of cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring for about 5 min or until
thickened. (This cooks out the raw cocoa taste.)
In another small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 5 min
to soften.
Heat over low heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves. Stir into cocoa
mixture.
Stir in sweetener (artificial sweetener like SugarTwin equivalent to 1/2
cup sugar) and brandy extract. Remove from heat.
Pour into 8 inch square baking dish. Let stand at room temperature 4 hours
or until firm.
To remove from pan, cut around edges with a sharp knife. Place dish in
shallow pan of hot water for about 30 seconds just to slightly soften
bottom. Loosen one corner, then quickly flip gel out onto clean cutting
surface.
With sharp knife, cut evenly in 10 one way and 10 the other way. Place in
container, cover and refrigerate. Will keep up to 1 week in refrigerator.
