Eggless Chocolate and Vanilla Condensed Milk Pudding

This is an all time favorite from my childhood days … I have posted the vanilla version sometime back and this time I have layered it with chocolate flavor like my mom used to do… You can either set the pudding in individual serving bowls like in the picture or you can layer it in a big dish. Always make sure to use good quality China Grass or Agar Agar …

Wishing All A Very Happy & Blessed Easter!!!!

Note: To get the slanting effect, place the wine glasses in a slanting position with the help of an egg carton / ice tray / dessert bowls / or a loaf tin; then pour the chocolate mix into the glasses. Allow to chill in slanting position until set. Then pour vanilla mix over the chocolate pudding and chill again.
