Manjar branco is a pure white Brazilian coconut pudding similar to blancmange. It is identical to the Puerto Rican tembleque. In Brazil manjar branco is made in a ring (Savarin) mold and is served with a sauce made of pitted prunes poached in port wine. Commercial mixes for manjar branco and tembleque are available in Brazil and the U.S., and in other Latin American countries.
In order to improve the texture and taste you can add unsweetened shredded coconut to the mix.
Portugal
"Manjar branco" in Portugal usually refers to blancmange, but there is another desert that shares the name. The "Manjar branco" of Coimbra is an unusual desert, made from chicken breast, milk, sugar, rice flour, orange zest and salt.[1]
