Instructions

To make red fruit coulis, mix the fruits and sugar in a food processor (except a few for the decoration). Pass it through a fine-mesh sieve to obtain a coulis. Refrigerate.
To make blanc-manger, soak gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Split the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise. Pour almond milk and heavy cream into a saucepan. Add sugar and vanilla pod, bring to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes. Take the pan from the heat, add drained gelatin to the hot mixture, and mix. Pour it in a shallow dish, cover with plastic film in contact and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Whisk whipping cream with an electric mixer into whipped cream. Take the milk preparation from the refrigerator. Add a few spoons of cream to the almond blancmange and mix with a hand whisk. Then pour the blancmange into the whipped cream. Gently mix by lifting the mixture with the whisk.
Transfer the blancmange to a pastry bag with the cut tip and push it into glasses/small glass jars. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
To serve, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons red fruit coulis on top of the blancmange. Decorate with fresh fruit and serve.

Notes

Make sure to mix a little whipped cream with the main preparation before putting it in the whipped cream to incorporate well.
If the blancmange is "lumpy" after adding it to the whipped cream, continue to mix gently until it becomes homogeneous.
