My grandmother taught me this lovely honey blancmange recipe years ago, and it's become my go to dessert for impressing guests without spending hours in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just an hour, which is perfect for busy weeknights or last minute dinner parties. What I love most is how the honey brings such a natural sweetness and subtle floral note that makes this feel fancy despite being surprisingly simple to make. Plus, almonds are packed with heart healthy fats and protein, so you can feel good about serving this creamy, elegant dessert to the people you care about.

Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine rice milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, honey, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
Tip: Be patient and stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch. Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly pouring the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
Tip: This step is crucial to prevent the mixture from scrambling.
- 3
Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Tip: Use a candy thermometer to check for the correct temperature (110°C/230°F).
- 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract and rice flour until well combined.
Tip: Let the mixture cool slightly before proceeding.
- 5
Pour the blancmange mixture into small individual serving cups or ramekins. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Tip: You can also make the blancmange in a large mold and slice it into individual portions.
- 6
Just before serving, sprinkle the top of each blancmange with unsalted almonds.
Tip: This adds a nice textural element to the dish.
- 7
Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
