Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Garnish of your choice (berries, mint leaves, chocolate shavings)

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the milk is hot but not boiling.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and a splash of cold milk until smooth.
3. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the hot milk, whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
4. Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and reaches a pudding-like consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Pour the blanc-mange mixture into individual serving dishes or a large glass bowl. Let it cool for a few minutes at room temperature.
7. Cover the dishes or bowl with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic is touching the surface of the blanc-mange to prevent a skin from forming.
8. Refrigerate the blanc-mange for at least 2 hours or until set.
9. Once chilled and set, remove the plastic wrap and garnish the blanc-mange with your choice of berries, mint leaves, or chocolate shavings.
10. Serve the blanc-mange chilled and enjoy!
