To prepare, you typically dissolve the powder in boiling water, then stir in cold water. The mixture is then poured into individual serving dishes or a larger mold. It needs to chill in the refrigerator for several hours until it is firm. For a creamier texture, some people add whipped topping or condensed milk after it has partially set. It is a straightforward process that yields a satisfying result.

How to keep the rest
