Biancomangiare Recipe
Makes: 1 to 2 servings
For this recipe, you will need:
- 1 cup (250 milliliters) whole milk
- 3 tablespoons (25 grams) cornstarch
- ¼ cup (50 grams) sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 lemon zest peel
- Crushed pistachio nuts for topping
- Cinnamon for topping
Add half the milk into a small saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch and sugar. Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest peel, and the rest of the milk.
Turn on the heat to “low.” Whisking constantly, cook the milk until it reduces into a very thick, pudding-like consistency—about 10 minutes, depending on the heat.
Remove the lemon zest and pour the biancomangiare into a small carafe or mould. Set it aside so it can cool to room temperature.
After the biancomangiare has cooled, refrigerate it for 3 to 4 hours, or until it is firm. Flip it onto a plate, remove the mould, and serve topped with crushed pistachio nuts and cinnamon.
Buon appetito!
