Blancmange is a sweet, creamy dessert made from milk or cream, sugar, and a thickening agent like gelatin or cornstarch. It is often flavored with vanilla, almond, or fruit, and can be served chilled. Traditionally, it is poured into a mold and allowed to set, resulting in a smooth, silky texture. This dessert has roots in medieval Europe and has evolved over time. While it is commonly associated with French cuisine, variations can be found in many cultures. Blancmange is typically enjoyed as a light treat and can be garnished with fruits or sauces for added flavor.
