  As alternatives to rice starch, corn starch, white flour or isinglass (5 g) can also be used.

  4. Pour the pudding into a large mold or into single-portion molds, previously moistened.
  5. Allow the blancmange to cool completely, first at room temperature, then in the fridge for at least a couple of hours or until completely cooled.
