CHOCOLATE BLANCMANGE

Steps:

• Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and chocolate in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in milk.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts and mixture is thickening; bring to a boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
• Pour into a 3 cup jello mold; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
• When ready to serve, run a knife around the top, dip mold quickly in and out of hot water, then invert on a serving plate.
• Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

CHEESE OMELETTE (OMELETTE AU FROMAGE)

Steps:

• Break the eggs into a bowl.
• Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Add Parmesan cheese.
• Beat the eggs with a fork until just mixed.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the butter and allow it to melt and color slightly.
• Add the beaten eggs.
• Use the flat side of the fork to stir the eggs until they start to set.
• Smooth the top and leave the eggs to cook.
• Add the Gruyere cheese over the surface.
• Fold the omelette into thirds and flip it onto a heated serving plate.

COFFEE BLANCMANGE

Steps:

• In a heat-proof jug, mix together the sugar, corn flour and 2 tablespoons of milk (taken from the pint).
• Gently heat the remaining milk in a saucepan, adding the coffee powder during the heating.
• When the milk is just below boiling point and the coffee is dissolved and dispersed, tip the milk slowly into the heat-proof jug, stirring all the time.
• Return mix to saucepan, and heat to simmering temperature, still stirring all the time.
• Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring all the time, and then set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, place one trifle sponge into the bottom of each of three individual serving dishes.
• Divide the sultanas and chopped dates into three portions and sprinkle either side of the trifle sponges.
• Add the vanilla essence and butter to the blancmange and stir until evenly dispersed.
• Pour the blancmange into the serving dishes and add three pecan nut halves equally spaced around the perimeter of each dish.
• Set aside to cool, or chill in the fridge if prepared well in advance.
• Just before serving, decorate by adding a small squirt of canned cream between each pecan nut.
• Note:- If at any time during the mixing and heating, of the milk and corn flour, it should go lumpy, remove from the heat and mix vigorously with a hand or power whisk to remove the lumps. Then replace on the heat and continue.

MICROWAVE BLANCMANGE

Steps:

• Combine milk, cornstarch, salt, and sugar in a 4 cup microwave safe bowl. Mix until sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. Cook in microwave on high until the mixture starts to foam up. Stir, then continue to cook, stirring at intervals, until it becomes thick and smooth. Remove from microwave and add butter and vanilla, stirring well, then pour into serving dishes. May be served warm or cold.
• NOTE: Sugar substitute may be used in place of sugar but should be added with the vanilla after removal from the microwave. Butter is not necessary but gives it a richer flavor. If cooked too long, mixture will lose thickness.

CAMBODIAN PINEAPPLE CUSTARD (NUM CRèME MA-NOR)

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350* F.
• Place eggs, coconut milk, sugar, palm sugar, vanilla and pineapple together in a blender, and puree until smooth.
• Pour mixture into small greased custard bowls and place on a baking sheet with a rim. Pour hot water in baking sheet so the custard bowls have water 1/3 of the way up their sides.
• Bake for an hour or until a knife comes out clean.
• Cool completely and refrigerate until ready to serve. Unmold onto plates and serve cold - I think it would be pretty to serve with fresh fruit and mint as a garnish.

AMAZING LAVENDER CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• To make the custard: Add the cream, lavender, vanilla, and salt to a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan set over moderate heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon or whisk. When the mixture begins to simmer (tiny bubbles will form around the edge of the pan), remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the flavor of the lavender to steep into the cream. Or, to extract the maximum flavor, cool the mixture to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F with the rack in the center position. Reheat the infused cream to a bare simmer, stirring once or twice. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and slightly thickened. Pour in the hot cream, whisking to mix completely. Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or spouted pitcher, and skim off any bubbles.
• Fill six 8-ounce ramekins or brûlée dishes almost to the top with the custard, and place them in a shallow roasting pan or heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet, so that the edges are not touching. Add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 35 to 45 minutes (depending on the density of the ramekin or dish), or until the custards are set up and the tip of a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, uncovered, to cool completely.
• To make the topping: At least 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the top of each custard with a generous amount of sugar. Using a kitchen blowtorch (available from a hardware or kitchenware store), melt the sugar by moving the flame slowly back and forth over the surface until the sugar bubbles and has liquefied. Return the brûlée to the refrigerator to allow the topping to harden (about 15 minutes).
