How to Make Microwave Blancmange

  1. In a 4-cup microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup sugar until the sugar and cornstarch are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well to prevent lumps.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously after each interval, until the mixture thickens significantly and starts to bubble around the edges (about 2-3 minutes total). It should coat the back of a spoon smoothly.
  4. Remove from the microwave and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter (if using) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Immediately pour the blancmange into individual serving dishes.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving warm or chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for a delightful chilled dessert.
  7. Note: If the mixture becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. If it's too thin after cooking, microwave in 15-second intervals until thickened.
