AIBU about Angel Delight?

[Zampa]

I think layering different flavours of Angel Delight would be nice. DH thinks the flavours should be kept separated, to maintain their integrity.

I'm referring to banana, chocolate and butterscotch. Not strawberry. Even I wouldn't go that far.

Don't @ me if you don't like Angel Delight. We couldn't be friends.

One flavoyr alone is what you make when there is nothing snackish in the house and you scoff it all before the kids get home. Layered flavours with sliced banana, maybe lady fingers soaked in kahlua etc and topped with fresh whipped cream... is dessert.

I use the chocolate one to make a quick tiramasu-ish dish.
Slice a chocolate swiss roll and lay it across the base of dish. Pour a small amount of (cold) coffee over it and stick in fridge (you can add a liqueur of choice to it). Make your chocolate Angel delight and add on top of the swiss sponge.
Optional extra is a layer of whipped cream on top (Jersey cream is great) which you can also add a liqueur to.
Sprinkle with chocolate flake. Leave to set

Exciting ideas on this thread

We had butterscotch with sliced banana as children

My mother could make one packet of angel delight feed four! I find I can only feed one😂😂 (she could also feed five with a single mars bar too)

Am liking the sound of butterscotch and pears, but raspberry and Malteaser buttons is my favourite.

Instant whip was the cheap version made a lot more too im all for the idea of layering angel delight it sounds yummy def finish with a layer of cream and maybe some tasty sprinkles to go on top

My mum used to make me jelly but using evaporated milk instead of water. I want some now.

I think chocolate and banana or banana and butterscotch. Chocolate and butterscotch but without the banana. And with chopped bananas in the banana layer and chocolate chips in the other layer. Yes.

My mum used to make me jelly but using evaporated milk instead of water.

We used to have that! Must make some for my kids. We used to call it blancmange but I have a feeling it may be fake blancmange!

If you make the jelly with half the total volume of water and leave it until almost set, then electric whisk in a small can of evap milk and keep whisking it until really frothy you will get a great mousse.

Controversial, but I would definitely do this in a bread loaf tin, freeze it, then tip it out and slice it so you can see the layers and eat it frozen. Bet that’s amazing.

Silver balls instead of sprinkles.

I miss the vanilla ice cream flavour, I emailed Angel Delight Desserts and they replied that they don't make it anymore because of lack of demand. There are Angel Delight recipes on their web page.

I don't like chocolate or banana flavoured any so I would only eat strawberry.

jelly and evaporated milk is yummy but as someone said whisk it with lots of bubbles in becomes a gorgeous mousse type pud yummy

We used to have that! Must make some for my kids. We used to call it blancmange but I have a feeling it may be fake blancmange!

We used to call it "milk jelly" (imaginative)

Strictly speaking blancmange is a cold milk pudding made by heating milk with sugar and thickening it with cornflour, then setting in a mould. I think we had it sometimes but my mum probably bought a packet mix.

Must be 40 years since I last had AD. Used to love it, also milk jelly. We also had the Sweetheart dessert mentioned upthread as well - thick fruit syrup whisked with cold milk or evaporated milk. Viennetta, height of sophistication, with tinned fruit, natch. Neapolitan or vanilla or Cornish* ice cream in a cardboard package. I always hoped to get to lick the last traces of ice cream off the cardboard in the kitchen afterwards - you tell that to the kids of today and they won't believe you!

My mum still makes lemon meringue pie using a packet mix for the lemon filling. Delicious.

*I remember wondering what was the difference between vanilla and Cornish ice cream. I decided it was because Cornish ice cream was yellow and vanilla was pale cream. Probably bang on there. No fretting about E numbers in the 70s!

This is making me very nostalgic. My neighbour used to make AD in glass tumblers (served after Findus crispy pancakes) and it was the only place I ate it. I remember asking DM for it and she was very catsbum faced. I might try making my dc eat it with me.

Going a bit further off piste, I had a fab recipe which was a biscuit base and a filling of melted marshmallows and orange juice mixed together. It might have been that frozen concentrated orange juice I think. It was gorgeous.

I saw this thread when I was sorting my Tesco delivery last night, and I'm looking forward to receiving my multiple sachets of Angel Delight in a minute. I think I went for chocolate and banana because I already know they work well together!

Needs a layer of dream topping on top

I've done choconana before. Lovely. Angel Delight is like sex. The regular stuff is OK, but if you jazz it up by having 2 at a time or introducing whipped cream and Flakes it came become spectacular. Does mean you've got more washing up to do afterwards though.

We only ever had chocolate at home. Topped with hundreds and thousands and a cocktail cherry. I remember in the 90s they printed instructions for a milkshake on it - double the milk and you didn't let it set. That was lovely! I may have had strawberry once, but that's the only other flavour I've experienced

Broken ginger biscuits, butterscotch AD, tinned pears, squirty cream.

What is this white chocolate AD? Why did I not get an email, news flash, letter?



Available at Asda!

All, of these suggestions sound yummy. Butterscotch Angel Delight is the food of the gods.

I must now buy some when going to the supermarket.

My mum also put dream topping on it.

I got really excited about the white chocolate limited edition Angel Delight then noticed that Angel Delight contains palm oil .
