Steps:
- 1. Blend the cornflour to a smooth paste with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the milk. 2. Boil the remaining milk and add itto the paste, stirring well. 3. Return the mixture to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring all the time, until the mixture thickens and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add sugar and chocolate to taste. 4. Pour into a 600 ml (1 pint) dampened jelly mould and leave for several hours until set. Turn out to serve with fresh fruit.
Tips:
- To achieve a smooth texture, ensure the milk and cream mixture is strained before adding the dissolved gelatin. This will remove any lumps or impurities.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate. Look for chocolate with a cocoa butter content of at least 30%. You can also substitute dark chocolate or milk chocolate, depending on your preference.
- If you want a more intense vanilla flavor, add a vanilla bean or vanilla extract to the milk and cream mixture before heating.
- For a refreshing twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of orange liqueur to the mixture before chilling.
- To create a layered blancmange, pour half of the mixture into a mold, chill until set, then top with the remaining mixture and chill again.
- Garnish your blancmange with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings before serving.
