Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
1
envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4
cup cold water
1/2
cup sugar
1/3
cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2
teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4
cup fat-free (skim) milk
1/2
cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1-1/2
teaspoons vanilla
1/2
cup light whipped topping
Fresh strawberries and additional whipped topping (optional)
Preparation:
1.
Sprinkle gelatin over water in small bowl; let stand 2 minutes to soften.
2.
Combine sugar, cocoa and cinnamon in small saucepan; stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very hot. Add gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved; pour mixture into medium bowl. Refrigerate until mixture is slightly cold. Do not allow to gel.
