Jello & Pudding & Ice Cream

 Chocolate Pudding

1/4 cup  unsweetened cocoa - 1/2 cup sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla - 2 cups milk - 3 Tablespoons corn starch or arrowroot .  Cook til thickened. 

Homemade jello

Ingredients 

3 cups fruit juice (I use organic cherry, apple or and grape)

1/4 cup cold or room temp water

1/4 cup hot water - not quite boiling 

1.5 tablespoons gelatin from grass fed cows - Amazon

Optional honey - didn’t use 

Directions

Add the gelatin to the cold water and stir until the texture is smooth and consistent. Add the hot water and stir again (this will thin the mixture back to a water-like consistency). Add this gelatin mixture to the fruit juice (sweetened if you so choose) and stir some more.

Then pour your jello mixture into a large bowl, and place it in the fridge to set for at least 2-3 hours (or you can pop it in the freezer if you’re impatient!). Add fruit if you want. Make jello chiffon by waiting till it’s partially set and mixing in whip cream. 

Last but not least, enjoy!

Mason Jar Ice Cream - Good

I shake it then put in a small container to freeze. Depending on how big your mason jar is you need to be able to get the ice cream out of the jar.
