Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml milk
- 40 g cornstarch
- 50 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 few drops optional food coloring
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar to avoid lumps.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking until the mixture is smooth and combined.
If you'd like to add food coloring, mix in a few drops at this stage until the desired color is achieved.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for one minute.
Remove the bowl and whisk thoroughly. Place it back in the microwave and heat in one-minute increments, stirring after each interval, until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency (approximately 3-5 minutes in total).
Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the blancmange into individual serving dishes or a single mold, and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit or whipped cream before serving.
