More Angel Delight Recipes!

As my last Angel Delight Recipe post has been so popular; I have found some more recipes which I thought I would share with you all.

Chocolate Mint Ice Cream (Serves 4)
Fancy an After dinner mint with a difference? Add them to Angel Delight Ice Cream to serve with a coffee; great for using up any leftover mints too.

You will need one packet of Angel Delight Ice Cream mix and 8-10 After dinner mints (any time will do!) Optional; green food colouring to give it a minty green colour.

First, follow the instructions on the packet to make the Angel Delight Ice Cream. Chop up the mints and then gently mix them through the ice cream. Next, pour the ice cream into a plastic container, seal with a lid and freeze until it's completely frozen (a minimum of 4 hours). Finally serve in either shot glasses or wine glasses with a coffee at the end of your meal.

Yummy Swiss Roll Dessert (Serves 6)
Yummy dessert made in minutes by placing slices of Swiss Roll into the base of a dessert bowl then top with Angel Delight of your choice and decorate with any fruit you like.

You will need one swiss roll (any flavour), one sachet of any flavour of Angel Delight (try to match the flavour of swiss roll to the Angel Delight flavour), 300ml of cold milk and one large dessert bowl.

Place thin slices of the Swiss Roll at the bottom of the dessert bowl. Mix up the Angel Delight with the 300ml of cold milk as directed on the pack. Finally, pour the Angel Delight all over the Swiss Roll then place into the fridge for at least 10 minutes before serving. You can even decorate with fruit (such as strawberries or raspberries) or chocolate to make it look even more yummy!

Angel Summer Berry (Serves 4)
You will enjoy this easy pudding layered with biscuit crumbs, Strawberry Angel Delight and summer fruits.

You will need one packet of Strawberry Angel Delight, eight digestive biscuits, one medium banana and twelve strawberries.

Make the Angel Delight as per the instructions on the packet and leave to chill in the fridge while you prepare the fruit and biscuits. Place the biscuits into a freezer bag and hit them with a rolling pin until they make crunchy crumbs. Next, peel the banana and cut into twelve pieces and each of the strawberries in half. Once the Angel Delight has set, layer the biscuit crumbs on top and place the fruit over the biscuit in a pretty pattern. You could try other combinations of Angel Delight flavours and your favourite fruits.

AMAZING CADBURY'S CREME EGG BROWNIES!

What you will need:

• 185g unsalted butter 
• 185g best dark chocolate 
• 85g plain flour 
• 40g cocoa powder
• 3 large eggs 
• 275g golden caster sugar 
• 6 Cadbury’s Crème eggs cut in half

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160C and grease a 20 cm square baking tin. 
2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together either in the microwave or in a bowl over boiling water. 
3. Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar until they look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes. You will know it's ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. 
4. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, and then gently fold together. 
5. Hold a sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and sift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. Gently fold in to the mixture. 
6. Pour into the baking tin and cook for 15 minutes then take out of the over and gently press the cadburys crème egg halves into the mix, spacing them apart evenly. Put back in the over for another 5-10 minutes. 
7. Leave to cool before removing from tin and cutting into squares.

A quick and healthy dinner idea using Jus Roll pastry.

I thought I would share with you something which is rather yummy! I like to include lots of vegetables!
You can easily change the toppings you use on this. It's like a pizza but a lot yummier! You could serve with a nice salad, jacket potatoes or even home made chips!

You will need:

• Jus Roll puff pastry
• Baking sheet
• Small amount of oil
• Herbs
• Tomato puree
• A choice of toppings (sweetcorn, ham, peppers, tomatoes, chorizo, mushrooms)
• Cheese
• A little milk and a pastry brush

First I un-roll the pastry and lay it on a greased baking sheet and spread a think layer of tomato puree onto leaving about 2 cm gap around the edge. This will create a lovely crispy edge. 

I then chop up all the toppings. I have found it's best to cook the sweetcorn before using it as it lets out a lot of water and this makes the base soggy. Then, I start to layer the toppings onto the base. Once all the toppings are on the base, I then sprinkle a little cheese over the top.

Chorizo, sweetcorn, green pepper and plum tomato

Ham, green pepper, sweetcorn and plum tomato

I use a little milk on a pastry brush and start to brush it around the edge of the pastry, this will give it a nice golden colour.

Then I put it into the oven on gas mark 7 for about 18 - 20 minutes or until the pastry edges have turned golden.

Once it's cooked I like to sprinkle it with some ripped basil and serve it warm. This can also be enjoyed cold.

Mookie Scuttlebug Review

Note: Watch the cute video at the end of this post!
Jack was sent a Scuttlebug to test and review. When it arrived I expected loads of bits of put together. The box it arrived in was small and lightweight, I thought bits may have been missing! I opened the box to find the Scuttlebug neatly folded up.

I removed it from the box and read the instructions which were included; all you needed to do was unclip the front wheel, lock it into place and do the same with the two rear wheels and the bike was ready to use! It literately took seconds to put up and put down (obviously you reverse the technique)!

The bike itself is sturdy and very light weight. Jack is able to control the bike with the handle bars. The height of the bike is perfect for Jack. He loves wizzing around the yard and house on it! The Scuttlebug has specially designed wheels which make it suitable for inside and outside. The wheels provide a smooth and noise free ride.

The Scuttlebug helps develop balance and steering skills. This is a big plus as Jack is learning to control the bike while he is having fun. I have already noticed him steering the bike in the direction he wants to go. The manufacture recommends this bike is suitable for children aged 18 months to 3 years (maximum weight is 20kg) I wish Jack had one of these bikes when he was younger! We have a big bulky bike stored in the garden; I can't fold it or put it away so it just sits there getting wet and slimy! Jack has never really seemed interested in it. The Scuttlebug folds down flat which means I can store it easy.

Jack loves the eyes on the Scuttlebug and he always wants to ride it whenever we go anywhere; because it's lightweight I don't mind him riding it out and about. If he gets tired it's not to heavy to carry. The colours are very bright and the design is a Bumble Bee. There are different colours and designs.
I would defiantly recommend this to my friends and I hope Jack doesn't grow out of it too quickly.

Angel Delight Recipes!

Ever wanted to make something tasty quickly? Well these simple recipes will allow you to make something tasty out of a well know product Angel Delight. I love it and have grown up with it. I will introduce Jack to it and make it a yummy treat for him.

Available in Chocolate, Strawberry, Banana, Butterscotch & Raspberry.
Also a sugar-free version in Butterscotch, Strawberry and Chocolate.

First up is similar to banoffee pie. Melt butter and digestive biscuits together and put in the bottom of a cake tin or bowls. Chop up two bananas and spread over the biscuit base. Next, mix up banana Angel Delight as normal and spread over the banana. To finish shake some chocolate sprinkles on the top and leave to chill.
To make a chocolate cheesecake; don't add the banana and use a chocolate Angel Delight. Try using some yummy biscuits as a base such as chocolate chip cookies or ginger nut biscuits!
You could even try making the base out of Weetabix mixed with Rich Tea biscuits, banana Angel Delight for the filling and add strawberries and raspberries to the top.

What about a Chocolate Orange Triffle? Add Jaffa Cakes to the bottom of a dish. Cover with mandarin oranges. Mix up a chocolate Angel Delight and layer over the Jaffa Cakes. Whip up cream and layer over the Angel Delight. You could even decorate the top with Terry's Chocolate Orange segments!

Ever thought to make yummy ice lollies from Angel Delight? Mix it up as usual just add a little more milk so it doesn't go to thick. Then pour the mixture into ice lolly moulds and freeze for around 2-3 hours. You could use Strawberry Angel Delight and add fresh strawberries to the mix!

Enjoy!!

Quick and easy cake tray pizza bites

Hi everyone!!
Thought I would share with you a yummy pizza recipe I made today. Jack helped me pat the dough into flat circles! (All measurements are estimates as I just chucked the flour and water into a bowl!) All you need to do is make it into a dough!

For the dough:
4oz of self raising flour
4oz of strong wholemeal flour
Water
2 tablespoons of oil
A pinch of salt

Sift the self raising flour into a bowl and add the strong wholemeal flour. Add oil and water until a dough is formed. Work the dough for about 5-10 minutes. Tear the dough into small balls and pat out until flat. Fit into a cake case tin.

For the topping:
Tomato pure
Anything you fancy!

Spread the tomato pure thinly, then sprinkle on the topping you fancy. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

These are ideal for toddlers as a snack. They are small, tasty and fun!!
Enjoy!!!
