    Haitian Blancmange is clearly a French influence for this coconut gelatin dessert.  It is super light and refreshing and a great way to balance the palate after all that hot and spicy Haitian food.  This dessert is beautiful if you use a pretty mold and decorate it with some fruit. The fruit is needed for a little sweetness to the mild coconut flavor.  If you need a gelatin mold you can get one by clicking here Enjoy
