Tools:

Ingredients:

• 1 package (3.4-ounces) regular vanilla pudding (Do not substitute instant pudding)

• 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup cool water

Lightly spray cavities of Mini Star Pan with vegetable pan spray. Prepare pudding according to package directions (use only the 1-1/2 cups milk).

In small saucepan, soften gelatin in liquid and heat until clear, set aside. When pudding is thickened, add white chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Add gelatin mixture and stir. Place bowl in another filled with ice and whisk until cool and very thick, but still soft.

Whip cream with confectioners' sugar until thickened. Fold 1 cup whipped cream into chocolate mixture then fold into remaining cream. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Fill each cavity about 1/8- inch below top. Tap on hard surface. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. To unmold, loosen sides with small pointed spatula, turn out onto large serving tray. Garnish with berries.
