The simplest of puddings & most healthful. Elegant served with blackberries &/or syrup. Eaten in the classic novel "Little Women".

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons granulated sugar or Splenda sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla, clear if possible
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (optional)

Directions

1
Mix the cornstarch, sugar, and salt with 1/4 cup of cold milk.
2
In a small pot, heat the remaining milk over low heat (Do not boil!).
3
While whisking, slowly add the cold milk mixture to the heated milk, stirring constantly, in a heavy bottomed pan or a double boiler.
4
Continue to cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 15 minutes until the raw taste of the cornstarch disappears and it thickens. (Do not boil!). It will thicken all at once at the end of the cooking time.

Let cool, then add the vanilla.

For Chocolate Blancmange, when you heat the milk, add 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate and stir until smooth.

This was delicious! I layered it with boyzenberries, what a treat! I will definitely be making this again. Made for Bevy Tag, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

This gets 5 stars for ease of preparation. I cut the recipe in half, used skim milk, and used 1/4 tsp. almond extract in place of the vanilla. This would be really good with fresh raspberries and it made a light dessert. Thank you Engrossed!

This was so quick and easy to make..I made the vanilla version.I had half a can of pineapple juice leftover from the ham glaze about 4 oz.0r 1/2 cup so I cooked it up with some cornstarch,when thickened I poured it over the blancmange to cool..WoW, what a nice dessert with a slight hint of pineapple..I will try raspberry juice next time,cherry,orange,lime?many options..Try this dessert,u wont be disappointed...With or without the fruit sauce topping I made..My DH says the topping makes this dessert..Update..I made this using leftover choclate milk,was very good..Also The pineapple is the best topping..And we have found this dessert to turn watery within 24 hours,so it has to be eatten the day of..
