Recipe Notes

This pudding is starch-thickened and so is called blancmange in the UK.

To toast almond quickly, use the stovetop. Heat a no-stick skillet over medium heat. Place almonds into the skillet and let them toast, shaking pan occasionally, until lightly golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a plate and let cool before storing them in a plastic bag at room temperature.
