Guess what I bought for dessert...

[FedUpWithBriiiiiick]

Butterscotch Angel Delight!

I'm obviously having some sort of sentimental moment, and took an urge for it. I might even make it in a plastic jug á la my DMum circa 1988.

I bet it's not as nice as I remember

Solo I've reported my OP so hopefully MNHQ will move it to Recipes for us to enjoy the fluffy goodness 4EVA.

Blimey, I'm going to have a go at making that Black Forest trifle. Sounds amazing. I might dust my NutriBullet off and have a go at angel delight. Can't stand it being lumpy.

And now creme eggs are back in stock I can make lovely creme egg ice cream milk shakes in the nutri bullet.

Easter egg as a bowl is GENIUS.

I stopped for Angel Delight and a Twix on the way home. I had it as a starter.

I do Angel Delight surprise, Strawberry with mini marsh mallows mixed in or chocolate with chocolate chips, both very nommy

Yes Bunmum birds hot chocolate crunch pudding was amazing. I craved it last year when I was pregnant with dd & searched high & low for it to no avail. Even tried to recreate it heating up a chocolate yogurty thing & crushing up biscuits but it just didn't cut it.

I love this thread. Such joy!
I'm diabetic, type 2. No Angel Delight for me. But I love reading about yours.

So need something sweet now, only Lidl version of viscount biscuits in the cupboard

Just squirted tinned squirty cream right in my mouth. I may have to go back for a second squirt.

I did squirt some out onto a plate for the cats as well.

Butterscotch angel delight. Oh my. Going to buy some.tomorrow and easter eggs to put it in. Genius.
Vienetta- mint choc chip obviously
When my mum was running out of supplies at home and we asked for pud she would do chopped bananas and hot custard. Always felt cheated with that as it didn't feel like a proper pudding.
Now I have kids I can see why. She had probably run out of food and ideas

I'm well known for my love of 80's food items. Don't think I've ever gone more than a month without a packet of Angel Delight in my cupboard, or cubed jelly, tinned peaches, birds custard powder, tinned rice pudding etc.

What I really miss though is the mint choc chip feast ice cream bars. Have they come back yet?

Ahh this thread has made my day already. So many wonderful ideas! I don't own a nutribullet but my v. health conscious DSis does, I may do the angel delight + aero just to horrify her

Hi all,

We're sending this over to our food and recipes topic now!

Mmm butterscotch angel delight drools I make it in little glass dishes with a layer of butterscotch at the bottom, let it set, and then top with chocolate Angel Delight

Talking of puddings/desserts of the 80's, does anyone remember a similar packet mix as Angel Delight, which you made with water? There was a lemon one which was amazing, but I have never been able to find it, or even remember its name.

Uiscebeatha85 Only the very middle class say "dessert" the upper classes say pudding and shudder at dessert.

LornaMumsnet So pleased to know that :)

Serenitymummy I will be making that angel delight dessert, it sounds delicious!!

Thanks LornaMumsnet!

Not a dessert person other than tiramisu which is devine or hot chocolate fudge cake with cream or ice cream mmmmmmmm

BUNMUM there was a lemon Birds hot crunch pudding that was nothing short of amazing! And ShamonMoFo I was literally thinking about that on Sunday - I was singing the song from the advert all afternoon

Yesssss Dream topping. Single greatest thing. You can keep the rest of Bird's trifle, I just want whatever Dream is.

I don't remember ever having Angel Delight as a kid. I tried it once as an adult after people were raving about it on MN. Revolting stuff. Threw it away after one mouthful! Tastes of burnt plastic and artificial sweetener.

That's because it's actually made of burnt plastic and artificial sweetener...

Eolian back in the day angel delight was full of sugar and additives and was a fantastic treat! It's still almost as good, as long as you don't buy the no added sugar one by mistake
