Note: The longer you stir the mixture to cool down, the smoother the texture of your black sambo becomes.  Lessons learned do not freeze  Black Sambo more than 20 minutes or else it will harden and icy.  When placing the top layer it’s better to use a ladle than to pour the mixture all at once, to avoid bubbles, lumps and to break/move the lower layer. Black Sambo should be firm yet soft and jelly like in texture, you’ll know it’s right when it giggles on your spoon.
