Hi shell06. Blancmange is basically milk set by adding gelatin or some sort of starch i.e cornflour or almond flour, with flavours and sweeteners / colouring.

Heres an old recipe form Mrs Beeton: http://thefoody.com/mrsbpudding/blancmange.html and a simple version of a basic blancmange using cornflour to set the milk: http://www.dessert-recipes.co.uk/DESSERT-RECIPE-blancmange-recipes.htm or try this for one of the easiest using milk shake syrup to flavour the pudding: http://www.greatbritishkitchen.co.uk/recipes_result.asp?name=partyblancmange

Italian version is panna cotta - call yours that at home and see the difference on the faces of everyone...!
