About this deal

Blancmange is a subtle dessert that is custard-like in texture, lightly flavored with vanilla, and either eaten alone or topped with berries. I think it must be a generational thing as I have never tasted blancmange but my husband (who is a good bit older than me) remembers it well from his childhood.

Squeeze the water from the leaves and stir into the hot milk until completely melted, along with the cream and white rum. The oldest recipe found so far for blancmange is from a copy of the oldest extant Danish cookbook, written by Henrik Harpestræng, who died in 1244, which dates it to the early 13th century at the latest. The oldest recipe that can be found is written in Danish, which may have been translated from a German cookbook. Three variants of Pearce Duff’s Blancmange – vanilla, strawberry and chocolate – are rolling out now to Morrisons in a 35g pack (rsp: 35p).jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":308,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":487,"licensing":"

Carefully and slowly pour the blancmange mixture into a large gelatin mold pan and set in the refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours.

A 1660 cookbook credits the French with revitalizing the original chicken stew recipe into the dessert. I just found a recipe online by Prue Leith for a raspberry blancmange which sounds lovely so I’m definitely going to have a go at that! Whisk 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 2/3 cup finely chopped dark chocolate into your slurry and proceed as directed!

Blancmange (pronounced bluh monj) comes from the French name blanc manger, meaning “white dish” or “white eating”. The origins of the blancmange have long been believed to lie in the introduction of rice and almonds in early medieval Europe by Arab traders.

On festive occasions and among the upper classes, whitedishes were often rendered more festive by various colouring agents: the reddish-golden yellow of saffron; green with various herbs; or sandalwood for russet. While she hasn't tried other flavors for this recipe, Brookes says strawberries would work well as a fruity substitute, as well as blackberries or black currants. The historical blancmange originated at some time during the Middle Ages from the older Middle Eastern muhallebi [3] through Al Andalus as suggested by its Anglo-Norman name blanc desirree ("white Syrian dish"), and usually consisted of capon or chicken, milk or almond milk, rice, and sugar and was considered to be ideal for the sick. I left it in the fridge over night and when I came back in the morning there was liquid on the sides, even though it was almost completely set the night before. Back then it was actually a savoury pudding made with cold meats like chicken or fish with milk and rice!
