Practice Makes Perfect :: Black Sambo Recipe

Black Sambo treat in celebration of my Mother-in-law's birthday last 11th of August and my friend's (Kathryn) birthday too yesterday, 12th of August.

After so many years, I finally got reunited to my long lost love when I was young as fifteen. Haha! Seriously. This I learned from our Home Economics class in High School and it is famously called as Black Sambo. It's easy to cook. Here's how to do it.

BLACK SAMBO RECIPE

Ingredients:

WHITE LAYER
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin or 1 sachet of knox gelatin (you may add 1 more tbsp. if you choose to make it a bit intact unlike the one I made above, mine is a little softer that's why it slipped easily)
1/2 can condensed milk (too sweet? try a little lesser than 1/2)
1 can Nestle Cream (300ml) or 1 tetra pack of Nestle All Purpose cream (250 ml)

***
BLACK LAYER
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin or 1 sachet of knox gelatin
1/2 can evaporated milk (192.5g)
1/2 cup chocolate powder (most would prefer using Hersheys, in absence you can find whatever brand is available like Cadburry, Van Houten, Čokolada chocolate powders, etc.) you make it 1/3 cup of you like it a tad bitter like dark chocolates
1/4 cup sugar


Procedure:

For both white and black layers (do them separately):
1. Boil the unflavored gelatin on water.
2. Mix all the other ingredients with the dissolved gelatin.
3. Place on a molder. Chill.

When first layer is cool, do the next layer (black) and place the mixture above the white layer. Be sure to bookmark this page for easier reference! (^_^)

Serve cold. Enjoy your Black Sambo!
