The method
Step by step
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, sugar, and lemon zest.
About 2 min
- 2
Whisk in the cornstarch until completely dissolved and no lumps remain.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the cornstarch is fully mixed before heating to prevent a lumpy pudding.
- 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Stirring prevents the mixture from sticking to the bottom and ensures even cooking.
- 4
Continue to cook and stir for about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.
- 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- 6
Pour the biancomangiare into individual serving molds or a single large bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Small ramekins or teacups work well for individual portions.
- 7
Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
About 2 hr
Cook’s note: Chilling time is crucial for the pudding to firm up properly.
- 8
Before serving, if desired, sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Cook’s note: Fresh berries or toasted almonds also make excellent garnishes.
