  3. Once pudding is chilled, in a small cup add the gelatin and water. Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes.

  4. Microwave it for 30 seconds. If you don't have a microwave heat in small sauce pan, on high,until bubbly. Scrape out every last bit from pan using this method:-) and cool

  5. In mixer using whisk attachment, whisk 2 1/2 cups cream until soft peaks.
