powdered vanilla blancmange

[oli]

I am making a dessert that calls for powdered vanilla blancmange.

Can I use Vanilla Pudding as a sub. or is this product available locally?

I asked on the website but no one responded.

The fruit filling part of the recipe is:

1kg of apricot

4 peaches

2 packets of powdered vanilla blancmange

4 tablespoons of brown sugar

Yes, I would think so. Here is a recipe for blancmange and it is basically

what cooked vanilla pudding is.

Will I be safe buying vanilla pudding - instant or slow?

If you were making this recipe what would you do?

 

[charley]

I don't think it makes much difference--it's just pudding with fruit.

Slow. Buy regular pudding mix that requires cooking-Don’t buy instant

Absolutely agree. Regular not instant.

I think I might go with this.

Why spend that money when it is easy to make your own

OR you can by Jello cook 'n serve pudding mix which has the same ingredients as Dr. Oetker's
And has the same ingredients as instant pudding mix.

Please let her do what she WANTS to do, not what YOU want her to do. Thank you.

I think it's a "he". And I was only suggesting that there are other ways to make

a custard or blancmange. It isn't too bad to offer suggestions that may even be useful other places and other times.
It turns out his recipe (which I did not have any idea of except for "blancmange" did benefit from using a jello based/readily available at your supermarket item rather than $10 worth of European pudding mix. I look at economy also.
Have a nice day.
