Blancmange classic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a delicious classic blancmange at home? Very simple and fast enough. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can take any milk: cow's milk, almond coconut, etc. I did it with ready-made almond milk. Such milk can be prepared independently by grinding peeled almonds in a blender and pouring milk overnight. Then strain the mixture through a sieve or gauze.

2. Step 2:

   

   Gelatin pour 50 ml of cold milk and leave to swell for 7-15 minutes, depending on the size of the crystals. Gelatin can be used instant or ordinary food for desserts.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the gelatin is swelling, pour 800 ml of milk into a saucepan, add sugar. Sugar can be adjusted to your liking. Before pouring the mixture into the molds, taste it and, if necessary, add more sugar. Put the milk and sugar on medium heat and bring to a boil.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the milk is boiling, stir the corn starch in the remaining 150 ml of cold milk, breaking all the lumps. The mixture should be homogeneous.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the warmed milk with sugar into the starch mixture and mix. Pour everything back into the saucepan. With continuous stirring, bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes or longer until thickened. At the same time, make sure that the milk at the bottom does not burn.

7. Step 6:

   

   At the end, pour in the swollen gelatin and mix the mixture well.

8. Step 7:

   

   Remove the resulting milk pudding from the heat. It is still fluid, but it will gradually thicken. At the same stage, to flavor the dessert, pour in the almond extract if desired, if you cook with almond or cow's milk. If you cook on coconut, you do not need to add almond extract or replace it with coconut extract.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour the milk mixture into silicone molds or creamers and cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for 6-8 hours to cool completely.

10. Step 9:

    

    If you poured dessert into creamers, serve directly in them, if in silicone molds, then carefully turn the molds onto a saucer and release the dessert. Serve the finished dessert cold, garnished with fresh berries and mint. Enjoy your meal!
