Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 30 g Cocoa powder
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 40 g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 20 g Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
- 100 ml Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and cornstarch to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 2
Gradually pour in 100 ml of the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth paste.
Step 3
Add the remaining 400 ml of milk into the saucepan slowly, whisking to combine.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Step 5
As the mixture comes to a gentle boil, it will begin to thicken. Continue stirring and cooking for 2-3 minutes to ensure the starch is fully cooked.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses, bowls, or ramekins. Smooth the surface if needed and allow them to cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Once cooled, cover the containers with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 9
Before serving, optionally garnish the blancmange with grated dark chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream to elevate the presentation.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey delight of Ma’s Cocoa Blancmange.
