- Soften the gelating in the cold water for 1 minute, then stir into the hot chocolate mixture. Pour it into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. To speed up the cooling process, set the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir with a rubber spatula until it's room temperature. Be careful not to let the gelatin set up.
- When the chocolate mixture is cool, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 teaspoons vanilla. Fold this into the chocolate mixture.
