Oh, wow – I have always wanted to try blanc-manger, but I’ve never seen a good recipe for it. Apparently, I haven’t been looking in the right places! This looks delicious.

I can totally relate to your story of frequent power outages in Florida! Poor you! Your blanc mange is lovely, even if it was the second one you had to make. I can imagine that the red current glaze really helped to round out the dish and provide a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the dish.

For unmolding gelatin-set dishes, we always had luck with turning the tin upside down on a platter and then warming it all over with a blowtorch. Seems to work better than the “dipping in water” thing, and less of a chance of an accidental immersion!

Despite all that went wrong, you pulled it off brilliantly! Both variations look absolutely divine!

Thanks for a great pick, Susan! I never would have made this otherwise, and it was a huge hit! Your post reminded me about one of the things I’m glad I left behind when I moved from hurricane country to earthquake country! Your chocolate hazelnut version is inspired!

That looks and sounds heavenly! Giving this post a stumble so I remember to make it someday. I love Panna Cotta, so I don’t see why I wouldn’t LOVE this one too. Plus, raspberries! YUM!!

Gosh, I have such a different vision of blancmange in my head (borne out of reading stories as a kid of girls in English boarding schools, where blancmange seems to be standard dessert fare). It was something white and jellied – yes, but otherwise sounded kind of tasteless! This, on the other hand (and despite your power outage trauma) is another thing entirely – it looks absolutely fab.

Oh Susan, we would never have known this beautiful presentation to be such an event. What A Woman!!! One day it will be funny right? hehe Just neither today or tomorrow. I have to say I also thought it was dreamy. I mean seriously, who couldn’t love sweetened cream with berries? Yumm! Love the chocolate version. Oh and I discovered a little late that I didn’t have the called for pan so I used a muffin pan for the mondo Texas size muffins and it worked perfectly and I didn’t have a lick of trouble unmolding them. Not even a hot dip. Hmmm don’t know how I got so lucky. Just livin’ right, I guess.
Thanks for this timely and super choice. I would have never chosen it otherwise. That is what I love @ TWD.
