Snowman Milk Pudding

Instructions

1. Step
   In a small saucepan, combine milk, cream, sugar, and gelatin powder. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar and gelatin are fully dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.
2. Step
   Pour the warm mixture into small round cups or molds. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

   Pipe local whipped cream around the base of each pudding to create a scarf.
5. Step
   Sprinkle desiccated coconut on top to resemble snow.
6. Step
   Place a marshmallow on top as the snowman’s head.
7. Step
   Use food coloring or edible markers to draw the eyes, mouth, and nose.
