Angel Delight Banana - 600g

Angel Delight sits in a particular corner of the British pantry: the instant dessert category that peaked in the 1970s and has never quite gone away. Made by Birds, the brand behind the custard powder that has been a fixture in British kitchens for generations, Angel Delight is a whipped dessert mix that sets into something between a mousse and a fool, made with cold milk in a matter of minutes.

For British expats and Canadians with UK connections, banana-flavoured Angel Delight is the sort of thing that is genuinely difficult to substitute. The banana flavour is bright and unambiguous in a way that belongs to a specific kind of British childhood memory, and no locally available equivalent quite fills that gap emotionally.

This 600g catering-size bag makes considerably more than the standard smaller packs, which suits families, gatherings, or anyone who knows they will go through it quickly. Once made up with cold milk it needs to be refrigerated and eaten within 24 hours, so it is a make-and-serve rather than a make-ahead situation. The dry powder itself stores well in a cool, dry place.

Angel Delight Banana sits naturally alongside other British pantry staples worth keeping in the cupboard. The broader British pantry favourites range includes the kind of everyday UK cooking and baking items that tend to be the hardest to source in Canada.

The shop ships from within Canada, so whether you are in Toronto, Brampton, Cambridge or Waterloo, it arrives without the delays and customs uncertainty of an overseas order.
