- 500 ml unsweetened almond milk or cow's milk
- 50 g cornstarch
- 100 g white sugar
- 8 g vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- cinnamon to taste
For the garnish
- 20 g ground pistachios
- honey
Place the cornstarch in a small bowl and combine it with 50 ml of almond milk until it melts completely.
Add the mixture of cornstarch and the rest of the milk to a pot over medium heat.
Add the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla to the mix. Keep stirring the mixture until it thickens, it will take around five minutes.
Next, remove the pot from the hob and get ready to spoon the mixture into glasses or in your moulds. Place in the refrigerator for at least three hours to cool completely.
When it's time to serve, unmould your biancomangiare and plate them. Get ready to garnish with some ground pistachios and drizzle each of them with some honey.
- Biancomangiare can be kept for up to three days in the fridge if stored in a closed container.
- Place the garnish only when you are ready to serve.
- Cinnamon, as written above, is to taste. If you love it more or less, please change the recipe to your liking.
- If you use almond milk, make sure it's unsweetened, or it might make the biancomangiare too sweet afterwards.
