Eggnog Jello

One of the advantages to staying in IV over the christmas holiday is empty surf. The other is 1/2 price on the sell-by date dairy from the co-op, cause no one is in IV to buy stuff. A couple of years back I got some eggnog and made eggnog jello, which is basically panna cotta. Made it again, added some cocoa powder. It's really quite good, and has it's roots in traditional european cooking, with a Seth twist.

Cocoa Eggnog Panna Cotta recipe:
1Q eggnog
1.5 T gelatin
1/3 C cocoa
pinch salt
vanilla extract

Soften the gelatin in ~1/2 cup of the eggnog (sprinkle gelatin thinly on the surface of the liquid, in about 5 minutes it will have bonded with the liquid).
Stir in the cocoa powder and salt.
Nuke it till the gelatin dissolves, maybe 3 minutes.
Stir in the rest of the eggnog, which will cool it down.
Stir in vanilla.
Fridge till set.
Note: the usual rule is 1T gelatin to 2c liquid, but eggnog is so thick you can use less.
