blancmange
Creamy molded sweet
Blancmange is a sweet, mild dessert made from milk or cream thickened with cornstarch or gelatin and set in a mold.
The texture is soft and wobbly, similar to pudding or panna cotta.
Once a staple of British home cooking, it now carries old-fashioned associations: Grandmother always made blancmange for Sunday dinner.
