Black Sambo

This is my first ever Black Sambo! Just found the recipe on the internet so thought of trying it since I love desserts.  It's still not that perfect so have to practice more! :)














First Layer:

 2  envelopes Knox gelatin
 1  cup cold water
 1  cup condensed milk
 1  can all-purpose cream


Second Layer:

 2  envelopes Knox gelatin
 1  cup cold water
 1/2  cup cocoa powder
 1/2  cup white sugar
 1 1/3 cup evaporated milk


Procedure:

For the first layer:

     Dissolve gelatin on cold water.  Cook over low heat and keep stirring until near-boil.  Gradually add condensed milk and stir for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat then add cream.  Stir until cool.  Transfer to mold and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

For the second layer:

     Dissolve cocoa powder and white sugar in evaporated milk. Set aside. Then dissolve gelatin on cold water.  Cook over low heat and keep stirring until near-boil.  Add chocolate mixture and stir for 5 minutes.  Let it cool.  Pour over the first layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
