Delicious… rich… tart … creamy… and easy to make! If you prefer things a little less rich, you can skip the final whipped cream topping; the pudding is lovely even without it.

Serves 8 to 10.Ingredients
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
4 tablespoons cold water
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup sugar
Dash of salt
