A very British dessert, blancmange is usually made from milk, sugar, vanilla and cornstarch resulting in a white (blanc) pudding. Our blancmange may not be very blanc, but it is very delicious and low fat to boot.

1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla
4 oz (125 g) PC Organics European Extra Dark Chocolate
1 orange, segmented
1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Place six 1/2 cup (125 mL) ramekins or custard cups on baking sheet. Lightly wet insides with water.
