How to Make Angel Delight Properly

Tell Your Friends.....

Angel Delight is a cornflour based dessert that sets into a sort of mousse, and is a popular brand in the United Kingdom.
It ships in a sachet containing the powder needed to mix it, and is available in a bunch of flavours including:

At some point in the 1990’s they tweaked the formula of Angel Delight to try make it set faster, but the 5-minutes time to set they give on the current packaging is a bit optimistic.

Having seen a couple of the Americans Reacting to British Things style of YouTube channels attempt to mix some up they’ve had sent in the mail, I felt it necessary to write down the proper way to mix the stuff seeing as YouTube frequently deletes my attempts to do so in the comments.

The first part of the Angel Delight instructions are correct, of putting 300ml of milk (whole or semi-skimmed) into a bowl, add the powder, beat the crap out of it with a whisk or fork.

At this point it should start to look like a lumpy milkshake, and this is when you can pour it into bowls ready to serve.
When you have it in the bowls, stick them in the fridge for 15 to 30minutes to give it time to set into a mousse-like substance, as per the old instructions from before they tweaked it to say 5-minutes.
