Preparation steps
1.
Cook chocolate and vanilla puddings simultaneously. For Vanilla Pudding: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk with cornstarch until smooth. Pour cornstarch mixture, all remaining milk and sugar into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture just comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add in white chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir frequently to melt the chocolate and keep the pudding cooking evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until pudding coats the back of a spoon thickly. Cool for 30 minutes.

For Chocolate Pudding: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk with cornstarch and cocoa powder until smooth. Pour cocoa mixture, all remaining milk and sugar into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture just comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add in chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir frequently to melt the chocolate and keep the pudding cooking evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until pudding coats the back of a spoon thickly. Cool for 30 minutes.
3.
Assembly: Get out eight small serving cups (approx 8-oz). When puddings are cooled and thick transfer each to a measuring cup with a spout. Pour a small amount of vanilla pudding into the first fifth of the serving cup and smooth with a spatula or a spoon. Next add a layer of the chocolate pudding, pouring very carefully and gently, and smooth with a spatula or a spoon. Continue to layer the vanilla pudding and the chocolate pudding, one after the other, two times for each flavor.
4.
Next make the Red Jello. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup boiling water to 1 pkg. gelatin mix; stir 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water; pour into prepared pudding cups. Refrigerate 1 hour or until gelatin is firm. Puddings can be served at room temperature or stored in the refrigerator to chill before serving. Top with shaved chocolate for garnish.
