1¾ sheets unflavored gelatin (or 1½ t. gelatin powder)
3T. cocoa powder
3T. sugar
2T. peanut butter
¼t. salt
¼t. vanilla extract
¼ c. chocolate ice cream syrup (optional)
Instructions
Fill a bowl with 2 cups of cold tap water and add the gelatin leaves. Set aside. If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle it over the cold milk in the saucepan (heat off), wait 5 minutes to bloom the gelatin, and continue.
In a small saucepan, combine all remaining ingredients except syrup and heat to a bare simmer, whisking often. Add gelatin leaves and whisk to dissolve. Set aside.
Add 1T. of chocolate syrup to the bottoms of 4-6 ramekins (I used a muffin tin) to coat.
Pour chocolate milk mixture evenly into ramekins.
Chill in the refrigerator 4 hours until hard set. To release, run a knife along the rim and flip onto serving plate. Garnish with additional chocolate sauce, if desired.
