Preparing Black Sambo Dessert

Preparing Black Sambo Dessert 

Black Sambo is a two layered gelatin or you can prepare a four layered gelatin, made of creamy milk and chocolate, also called the Christmas Dessert because it is always present during Christmas. It's basically easy to cook and serve, you don't need any skill to cook it. 

So I decided to cook Black Sambo with the inspiration of some friends who really loved it when we went to a party where Black Sambo was served. Another reason why I wanted to cook it is that there were ingredients available in the house and will expire soon, I just bought the additional ingredients needed :).
So here is the recipe of the Black Sambo.

Black Sambo Recipe
