Angel Delight is a very familiar brand from my childhood and one that I buy today to enjoy with my children. I find the milky dessert is very quick and easy to prepare and one that the family all enjoy and devour as soon as their bowl arrives at the table!
With an array of flavours available and ready made individual pots too, it couldn’t be an easier dessert to have either at home or on the go.
Chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch and banana – which one shall we make first? Well I had two little helpers who couldn’t wait to get stuck in whisking the Angel Delight so they took turns at making a packet each until we had plenty of bowls of all the different flavours for people to taste and try out. We found the packets very simple to mix up, it only takes a little whisking and then it’s ready to pour into bowls. Leave for just a short while to set, I prefer to put in the fridge and then they are ready to eat whenever you wish.
The children wanted to decorate some pots with smarties which really brightened up the Angel Delight making them look like a proper after dinner treat that they were eager to eat. Chocolate proved (although I think we already knew) to be the favourite flavour amongst everyone and one we regularly buy and love. Strawberry was hit and miss, people either liked it or not but it was pleasant enough, just depends on your taste buds and if there is something more preferable available.
Butterscotch Angel Delight is a particular flavour that I remember from childhood and one we often ate back then but one that I don’t think of buying now. Having tasted it again we discovered it is a top favourite alongside chocolate and one that appealed to my testers of all ages from 6 up to 68 so a wide range. Definitely one to think about using in mini butterscotch trifles for a quick family dinner or party desserts.
We decided to use the banana flavour to make milkshakes and added extra milk to thin down the mixture. Being banana flavoured and of the colour yellow it was perfect for my minion mad son to enjoy. We did little milkshake shots for others to try and they went down well.
Overall it’s been great to experience the array of Angel Delight products available and I got positive feedback from anyone that popped in to taste some or took a little ready pot to try out. I think the instant pots are great for kids in their pack lunches or on a picnic but we prefer to use the packet Angel Delight ones at home to whisk up a bowl of fluffy, bubbly, milky deliciousness!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
All of the flavours and recipes have been designed by Michelin star chefs using only the finest ingredients and sourcing the freshest ingredients to bring top restaurant quality desserts to your home.
These desserts are generously sized for one, particularly due to their rich flavours. I love that they can just be opened and eaten, great when you want a special dinner with little effort. A few of them do require to be oven heated but even then the dessert comes complete with it’s own ramekin ready to eat out of. The great thing about the ramekins is that they are reusable, so don’t throw them out, use them as a snack pot, to cook your own dessert in or even something completely non food related.
