Blancmange (white dish) is a French dessert with a weightless structure and a delicate taste. Initially, this dish was prepared with almond milk, and starch or semolina was used as a thickener. Later, they began to add light fruits, berries, nuts to the dessert and collect blancmange in layers with various toppings. A modern dessert can be prepared on the basis of any dairy products or their vegan counterparts. Use high-quality cottage cheese, sour cream and natural yogurt in various proportions. As a thickener, it is best to take gelatin. Combine additions from berries and fruits as desired. But try to use light-colored fruits so that the color of the dessert remains white. The amount of sugar can be increased as desired.
Blancmange can be prepared in portioned ceramic molds, glasses, or use a silicone mold. We prepared a bubble-shaped dessert and it turned out very airy and elegant.
