Blanc-manger (Blancmange)

Step 1

mix the fruits and sugar in a food processor (except a few for the decoration). Pass it through a fine-mesh sieve to obtain a coulis. Refrigerate.

Step 2

soak gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Split the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise. Pour almond milk and heavy cream into a saucepan. Add sugar and vanilla pod, bring to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes. Take the pan from the heat, add drained gelatin to the hot mixture, and mix. Pour it in a shallow dish, cover with plastic film in contact and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Step 3

Whisk whipping cream with an electric mixer into whipped cream. Take the milk preparation from the refrigerator. Add a few spoons of cream to the almond blancmange and mix with a hand whisk. Then pour the blancmange into the whipped cream. Gently mix by lifting the mixture with the whisk.

Step 4

Transfer the blancmange to a pastry bag with the cut tip and push it into glasses/small glass jars. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Step 5

pour 1 to 2 tablespoons red fruit coulis on top of the blancmange. Decorate with fresh fruit and serve.
