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.

Halloween Treats!

Not long until Halloween is here! (And my birthday!) I thought I would share with you some recipes I found for some lovely Halloween party food.

All recipes and images are from family fun. There are lots more ides which can be found on their website!

First up is my favourite Goblin Grins!

Cheeky Goblin Grins!

• 1 pea pod
• 1 red bell pepper
• a few slivered almonds

For each one, use a tip of a peeling knife to cut a small centred slit in one side of an edible pea pod. Next, cut out a tongue shape from the red pepper and insert the top of it through the opening in the pea pod (it looks better if the inside of the pepper faces up). For the finishing touches, insert a few slivered almonds for teeth.

Next up is Cheese-Finger Food!

Yummy Cheese-Fingers!

• mozzarella string cheese
• green bell pepper
• cream cheese

Wearing plastic gloves (to keep the cheese as smudge-free as possible) use a peeling knife to cut each string in half and then carve the shallow area for a fingernail at one end. Round this end to create the tip of the finger. Next, mark the joint right below the nail as well as the knuckle joint by carving out small horizontal wedges of cheese. For the fingernails, slice a green bell pepper into small strips and trip the pulp so it's half as thick. Cut the strips into ragged topped nail shapes and stick them into place with the cream cheese.

How about some Swamp Juice!

Tasty Swamp Juice!

To make 8 servings:

• 1/2 cup of small tapioca pearls (found in the baking section in a shop)
• food colouring
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 8 gummy fish
• seltzer water
• lemonade
• 8 gummy worms

First is how to make the eggs: bring 6 cups of water to the boil and add the tapioca pearls. Reduce the heat slightly and boil the pearls, stirring often for around 25 minutes. Now we need to colour the eggs: divide the pearls with the remaining water between two bowls. Add 4 drops of food colouring (use 1 drop of blue and 3 drops of yellow in one bowl and 4 drops of blue in the other) and add 2 tablespoons of sugar to each bowl. Stir the mixture and allow them to sit uncovered for around 20 minutes. Drain and rinse each of the bowls with cold water. We now need to assemble the drink: spoon 2 tablespoons of pearls into each glass and drop in a gummy fish. Fill the glasses with the seltzer water, add a splash of lemonade. To finish the drink; place a gummy worm around a spoon!

How about some yummy Monster Toes?

Juicy Monster Toes!

• cocktail sausages
• 6 inch tortillas
• ketchup
• cocktail sticks

Using a peeling knife cut a small toenail shape into one end of sausage. Cut the tortillas into strips about 4 inches long and 3/4 inch wide and discard the ends. Soften the strips in the microwave between damp paper towels for about 10 to 30 seconds. Roll each sausage in a tortilla strip and secure with a cocktail stick. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and fill the toenail with ketchup. Make sure you remove the cocktail sticks before serving!

Lastly why not try Pizza Mummies?

Cheesy Pizza Mummies!

• english muffins
• pizza sauce
• spring onions
• red or green pepper
• black olives
• cheese sticks or slices

Heat the oven to gas mark 5 or 175°C. For each mummy, spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto half of an english muffin. You can toast the muffin before if you like! Set the olive slices in place for the eyes and add round slices of green onion or bits of red or green pepper for pupils. Next, lay strips of cheese across the muffin for the mummy's wrappings. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the muffin is toasty.
