Hello Naseem,
Well, although there may be a recipe somewhere for blancmange that
has jello for an ingredient, blancmange traditionally is made with
rice, cornstarch, or unflavored gelatin as a thickener. See below
for some recipes.
"Blancmange" means "white food", and it was originally made with ground almonds.
Phaed
This one's adapted by Chef Leslie Mansfield from a recipe by Thomas Jeffersons. It's in her cookbook:
"The Lewis & Clark Cookbook — Historic Recipes from the Corps of Discovery and Jefferson's America",
by Leslie Mansfield. Celestial Arts, 2002."
Almond Blancmange with Strawberries
1 c. finely ground almonds
1 1/4 c. water
4 tsp. powdered gelatin
1/3 c. cold water
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
1 c. milk
1 c. heavy cream
2 c. whole fresh strawberries
Lightly oil a 6-cup ring mold and wipe out the excess oil. In a small bowl, stir together the
ground almonds and 1 1/4 c. water. Let stand one hour.
Place a colander in a large bowl. Lay a damp tea towel in the colander. Pour the almond mixture
into the center of the towel, allowing the liquid to strain through the bowl. Bring up the sides
of the towel and twist around the almonds, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Discard the
almonds. (I found them already ground at Trader Joe's, and also saved the strained mixture for
making muffins. — MT)
In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in the 1/3 c. water. Set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the almond liquid, sugar and almond extract. Bring the mixture to a boil,
then remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the softened gelatin. Pour the mixture into
a large bowl and place it in a larger bowl of ice.
In the same saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir the scalded milk into the
almond mixture. Continue to stir until completely cool.
Whip the cream until stiff, then gently fold into the cooled almond mixture. Pour into the prepared
mold, cover with plastic wrap, and chill overnight. To serve, dip the bottom of the mold in hot water
for a moment to loosen the blancmange from the mold. Invert onto a serving plate and carefully remove
the mold. Fill the center with the strawberries.
--------------------------------------------
Blancmange
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
2 well-beaten eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the top of a double boiler.
Gradually add the milk while stirring well. Place the mixture over
boiling water and stir constantly for 8 to 12 minutes, when it should
begin to thicken. Cover and continueto cook for about 10 minutes more.
Stir 1 cup of this thickened mixture, slowly, into the eggs. Return it
to the milk mixture and continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring
constantly. Do not overcook.
Remove from heat, and when slightly cooled by gentle stirring, add the
vanilla. Stir the mixture very gently into the molds. Cool for about
30 minutes at room temperature and for 1 to 2 hours refrigerated for
successful unmolding of individual molds. Larger molds will take 6 to
12 hours.
-------------------------------------------
Blancmange - The Traditional Recipe
2 1/2 cups heaviest possible sweet cream
1 cup blanched almonds, ground finely
3/4 cup sugar
2 packages unflavored gelatin
3 egg whites, beaten stiff
1 tsp. each rose water and almond extract
pinch of salt
strawberries or strawberry jam for serving
Over the almonds pour 1 1/2 cups of cold water, cover and let
stand for 3 - 4 hours. Strain the liquid through a
cheesecloth, pressing as hard as possible to extract all
of the liquids. Discard the ground nuts and reserve the
almond milk.
In a saucepan combine the cream and sugar and scald,
stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted.
Soak the gelatin in « cup of cold water and then dissolve
this in the hot cream mixture. Set aside to col for «
hour. Add the rose water and almond extract, mixing well.
When the mixture begins to set, fold in the salt and egg
whites and transfer to a 2 quart (2 liter) well buttered
ring mold and chill until well set. Unmold and fill with
strawberries or strawberry jam. Serves 6.
