BlancMange Recipe

Ingredients

  • 50cl Coconut Milk

  • 1 Vanilla Pod

  • 70g Sugar

  • 6g Gelatin Sheets

Process

  • In a saucepan, pour the coconut milk and add the sugar.

  • Split the vanilla pod in two and remove the paste then add it to the pan.

  • Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water in a bowl.

  • Heat the coconut mix to allow the sugar to melt and the vanilla to infuse.

  • Use a blender to smooth the mix.

  • Squeeze the gelatin sheets to remove the water and put them in a bowl to melt in the microwave.

  • Pour the melted gelatin in the coconut mix and whisk it then pour it in the ramekins.

  • Let them set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Useful Tips

  • For a stronger vanilla flavour, let the vanilla paste and pod infuse overnight. Don’t forget to remove the pod before blending the mix.

  • Don’t simmer or boil the coconut mix to prevent the coconut milk from separating when cooling down in the fridge.

  • Be careful when melting the gelatin sheets in the microwave. Don’t burn it. When doing it, I reduce the power to 30% and put the timer on 10 seconds. If needed you can put it back in the microwave for 5 seconds.

  • The recipe is for 4 people but according to the size of the ramekins, it can be for more or less people.

  • To decorate the ramekins, coconut flavour goes well with bananas, cherries, chocolate, lemon or lime, mango, pineapple or even raspberries.
