Toasted Rice Blancmange
- 60g rice, uncooked
- 250ml full fat milk
- 2g leaf gelatine
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar, to taste
- Start by toasting the rice in a dry pan over medium heat. It should take ca. 3-5 minutes for the rice to turn a nutty brown and start smelling similar to popcorn. Be careful not to burn the rice to avoid your blancmanger tasting bitter.
- Soak the gelatine in a small glass with plenty of cold water.
- Pour the milk over the toasted rice and add sugar to taste.
- Once the milk has infused for ca. 30 minutes, strain it and place in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add the gelatine (without the soaking liquid) and slowly heat the mixture - you want to heat it just enough to help dissolve the gelatine, but not bring the mixture to boil.
- Let the milk mixture come to room temperature. Pour into 2 small ramekins and let set in the fridge, for ca. 5 hours at least.
