Shamrock Parfaits
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1-1/4 cups evaporated nonfat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups frozen light whipped topping, thawed, divided
1/8 teaspoon mint extract
6 to 7 drops green food color
Sprinkle gelatin over water in medium saucepan; let stand 2 minutes to
soften. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until gelatin is
completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
Stir together sugar and cocoa in small bowl; gradually add to gelatin
mixture, stirring with whisk until well blended. Continue to cook over
low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from
heat. Stir in evaporated milk and vanilla. Pour mixture into large bowl.
Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when
dropped from spoon, about 20 minutes. Fold 1/2 cup whipped topping into
chocolate mixture. Divide about half of mixture evenly among 8 parfait
or wine glasses. Stir extract and food color into remaining 1-1/2 cups
topping; divide evenly among glasses. Spoon remaining chocolate mixture
over topping in each glass. Garnish as desired. Serve immediately or
cover and refrigerate until serving time.
