I once won Chef of the Year with this pudding. It's charming yet unusual. Forget the nasty pink stuff you had at school. This is real blancmange, made properly. I hope you will agree, the results speak for themselves.

- 300 ml water
- 1 vanilla pod
- 4 gelatine leaves, soaked in plenty of cold water
- 300 ml carton whipping cream, lightly whipped
Saffron syrup
- 200 g caster sugar
- 225 ml cold water
- 3 saffron
- 1 juice 1 lemon
- you will also need 8x150ml (¼pt) Dariole moulds or pudding basins

- Drain the gelatine, squeezing out all the excess water, and stir into the hot milk.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, set aside to cool, then refrigerate for about 45 minutes until it starts to thicken.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, then pour into the Dariole moulds or pudding basins.
- Chill for 1 hour.
Saffron syrup
