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.
