CHOCOLATE BLANC MANGE

This blanc mange must be made at least 4 hours ahead to allow proper setting, but can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Keep covered with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate. Unmold just before serving for best presentation.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If unmolded, cover loosely with plastic wrap. If still in molds, cover tightly. The texture will become slightly firmer over time. Not suitable for freezing as gelatin-based desserts separate and become watery when thawed.
