Rediscovering Angel Delight With My Children

Angel Delight was my favourite dessert growing up. I loved it, especially butterscotch, and it was the pudding I always hoped we would have.

Somehow, after leaving home, I stopped buying it. I cannot remember making a decision about it. It simply disappeared from my shopping basket, and I had not thought about it for years.

The Angel Delight Moments Challenge gave me a reason to try it again and introduce it to my children for the first time. I was pleased to find that it went down very well with them too.

My Favourite Childhood Flavour

Butterscotch was always my first choice. I remember it as a treat, even though it was such a simple dessert to make.

That was part of its appeal when I rediscovered it. I did not need a long list of ingredients or much preparation. I could make something enjoyable with milk, a whisk and a bowl.

Sharing it with my children also brought back memories of enjoying it when I was younger. It was lovely to introduce them to something that had been a favourite of mine.

Trying Bubblegum Angel Delight

For the challenge, I was sent the Bubblegum flavour to try.

It was different from the butterscotch I remembered, but the flavour certainly matched its name. I found it sweet and recognisably bubblegum flavoured.

At the time of my original post, the packet included instructions for making either the usual spoonable dessert or a milkshake. I liked having both options from the same mix.

A Simple Dessert to Make Together

I appreciated how little I needed to get started. With milk, a bowl and a whisk, I could follow the packet instructions without turning dessert into a complicated task.

I am not someone who needs every pudding to involve lots of preparation. Sometimes I just want something straightforward that we can enjoy together.

The challenge gave me an opportunity to be a little creative with the Bubblegum flavour, but the simplicity was still what I liked most. It was an easy way to bring a childhood favourite back into our home.

The Flavours I Remembered

Alongside Bubblegum, the flavours listed when I wrote my original post included Banana, Butterscotch, Chocolate, Raspberry and Strawberry. There was also a no added sugar range.

The Bubblegum packet I received was described as suitable for vegetarians and made with natural colourings. These details relate to the product at the time of the original review.

Although I enjoyed trying something different, butterscotch remained the flavour I associated most strongly with my childhood.

Bringing Angel Delight Back Into My Life

I am glad the Angel Delight Moments Challenge reminded me of a dessert I had almost forgotten.

Introducing it to my children was a lovely part of the experience. I got to share something I had enjoyed growing up, and they enjoyed discovering it for themselves.

It reminded me that a treat does not have to be elaborate. Sometimes milk, a whisk and a familiar packet are enough.

I received the Bubblegum Angel Delight for the Angel Delight Moments Challenge. These are my own thoughts, based on my experience of trying it with my children.

Lewis LOVES meringue, and he loves desserts, so I made his very own meringue coated in Angel Delight with a sprinkle

Bubblegum Angel Delight went down a treat with the boys and Summer, they enjoyed the fun and unique taste - I can't wait to buy the other flavours and try these out on the kids.
