Milk Soup Made With Pudding Or Blancmange Powder Recipes

BLANC MANGE (ENGLISH STYLE)

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of the milk into a saucepan. Add lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Bring milk to a simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar. Whisk remaining milk into the cornstarch mixture. When the milk in the pan begins to simmer, pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan in a thin steady stream. Whisk vigorously and increase heat just a bit to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow the mixture to boil for about 20 seconds while continuing to whisk, then remove from heat. Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Stir in the pinch of cinnamon and, if using, the vanilla.
• Pour into a dish or mold, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Garnish with shaved chocolate just before serving.

ENGLISH TRADITIONAL CHOCOLATE BLANCMANGE

Steps:

• Sieve the cornflour, nutmeg, cocoa powder, cinnamon and sugar into a bowl. Add about 2 tblsps of the milk to the bowl and mix using a whisk until you have a smooth paste.
• Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan until just beginning to boil. Remove from the heat and add to your paste mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
• Add your mixture back to the pan and continue to cook on a medium heat, stirring all the time, until the mixture is thick and glossy.
• Remove from the heat and cool slightly before pouring into your serving dishes.
• Leave to one side or in the fridge for about 2 hours to cool completely before serving.

MILK SOUP (MADE WITH PUDDING OR BLANCMANGE POWDER)

Steps:

• Blend the pudding powder and about 4 tbsp of the sugar with 6 tbsp of the milk.
• Bring the rest of the milk to a boil, remove from heat, stir in the pudding powder mixture and bring to a boil again, stirring constantly.
• Season and serve.
• You may sprinkle on additional sugar at this point if you like a sweeter taste.
• If the soup is to be served cold, use an extra 6 tbsp of milk to blend with the pudding powder and boil all of the 4 1/2 cups of milk.
• If a stronger vanilla flavour is preferred, 3 packets of vanilla flavoured Oetker Sauce Powder may be used in place of the 1 packet of Pudding or Blancmange Powder.
• For a stronger lemon flavour add a few drops of lemon flavoured Oetker Baking Essence.
