Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Blueberry Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the frozen blueberries and sugar. Cook on medium heat for a couple of minutes until the blueberries are warmed and the sugar is dissolved.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly while you prepare the next ingredients.

Step 2

Prepare the Gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 100 milliliters of water and let it sit to bloom for about 5 minutes.

Then, heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave in short bursts of 4-5 seconds until it is fully dissolved, making sure **not** to let it boil.

Step 3

Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, the warm blueberry mixture, and the prepared gelatin. Use a blender to mix everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 4

Chill the Dessert

Pour the blueberry cottage cheese mixture into individual serving cups. Place the cups in the refrigerator and let them chill for 4-5 hours, or until set.

Once chilled, your delicious dessert is ready to be enjoyed!

Variations

If you're looking for a **gluten-free and vegan** twist on this recipe, you’re in luck! To make it vegan, you can substitute the cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative like tofu or a creamy cashew blend. Just blend the nuts until creamy to achieve that desired texture! Also, use agar-agar instead of gelatin for a perfect set. 🌿🥥

To ensure it’s gluten-free, double-check that your sweetener and any additional ingredients are certified gluten-free. You can also toss in other berries like strawberries or raspberries to mix up the flavors. The possibilities are endless! Your dessert can cater to everyone!

Faq

  • Can I use regular cream cheese instead of cottage cheese?

    Yes, but keep in mind that this will change the dessert's texture and taste. Cottage cheese provides a lighter, fluffier mouthfeel!

  • How long does the blancmange need to set?

    Let it chill in the fridge for about 4-5 hours for the best results. Overnight is even better if you can wait!

  • I’m struggling with the gelatin; how can I be sure it's properly activated?

    To activate gelatin, let it soak in the specified amount of water until it’s spongy, then gently heat it until it dissolves completely. Avoid letting it boil!

  • Can I add other flavors to the blancmange?

    Absolutely! Vanilla extract or lemon zest can add a wonderful twist to the flavor profile. Get creative with your favorite tastes!

  • What’s the best way to store leftovers?

    Keep any leftover blancmange in airtight containers in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 3-4 days.

  • I want to serve a larger crowd; can I double the recipe?

    Certainly, you can double the ingredients! Just ensure you have a sufficiently large mixing bowl and serving cups for your delicious creation.
