  • 1 1/2 tsp unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 1 1/2 cups cold skim milk
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 ounces dark chocolate with sea salt see photo
  • 3 ounces reduced fat cream cheese room temperature
  • Raspberries

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold milk.  Let soften, about 5 minutes.  Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin has dissolved, about 3 minutes.  Add sugar and stir until dissolved.  Add remaining 1 cup milk and heat over low until warm (do not boil), about 2 minutes.  Remove from heat.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.  Heat on high in 20 second increments, stirring each time, until melted.  Add cream cheese to chocolate and using a spatula, stir until combined.  Pour 1/4 cup gelatin mixture into chocolate mixture, stir until smooth.  Gradually add remaining gelatin mixture, stirring until smooth.  Divide among four dessert glasses and refrigerate until firm - at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.  Top with berries before serving.
