Ingredients
- 500 ml milk
- 40 g cornstarch
- 50 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 few drops optional food coloring
Directions
Step 1
In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar to avoid lumps.
Step 2
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Step 3
If you'd like to add food coloring, mix in a few drops at this stage until the desired color is achieved.
Step 4
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for one minute.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Pour the blancmange into individual serving dishes or a single mold, and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 8
Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 9
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit or whipped cream before serving.
