Ingredients

• 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
• 200 ml Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 150 ml Brewed strong coffee (chilled)
• 80 ml Maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tsp Agar-agar powder
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Cold water
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to combine.

Step 3

Sprinkle the agar-agar powder over the liquid mixture in the saucepan and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to hydrate.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously to dissolve the agar-agar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to activate the agar-agar.

Step 5

Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and continue to cook over medium heat for another 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the mixture evenly into 4 individual serving ramekins or molds. Allow them to cool slightly at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and chilled.

Step 9

To serve, carefully run a knife around the edges of the molds (if using). Invert the molds onto serving plates or bowls to release the blancmange.

Step 10

Serve plain or garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder, coffee beans, or a drizzle of vegan caramel sauce.
