Raspberry Velvet Melange

(Rasp. Chocolate Ice Cream)

I found this recipe in BHG and loved the picture so I tore it out. It wasn't until I read through the directions that I realized how EASY and CHEAP it is (especially for homemade ice cream). We made it up at Dave's cabin and it was delicious!

Ingredients
1 - 6oz pkg or Rasp.-flavored gelatin
2- cups boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
Fresh Raspberries (optional-but yummy!)

Preparation:
In a large bowl combine gelatin and boiling water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the cold water, 1/2 cup choc syrup, and whipping cream. Stir well to combine. Cover and child about 1 hour or until cool but not set. Pour into a 1 - 2 quart electric ice cream maker;freeze gelatin mixture according to manufacturer's instructions. Ripen (freeze/harden) if desired.

2. Top each serving with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate syrup, and serve with raspberries.

Makes 8 servings
