Ugh! Butterscotch Angel Delight has to be the sickliest concoction ever invented 😱

I used to adore Fry's Turkish Delight, mmmm! 🙂
 
I once made a huge bowl of angel delight layered with every different flavour. Was as sick as a dog shortly after scoffing the lot.
 
I have found that one of those Bullet blenders is the best way of making Angel Delight (although I use Morrisons No added Sugar varieties), comes out really thick and smooth.

Isn't the no-added sugar version stuffed full of potato starch? I seem to recall looking at the nutrition info and finding the no-sugar-added version had the same amount of carbs as the regular one.
 
I found that too. My brother made a sugar free jelly topped with no added sugar Angel Delight for me a few months back. My BS went to the moon & back!😱
 
The main ingredient is Maltodextrin and then Potato Starch, however the whole packet is only 48g carbs.
The main ingredient of the sugar version is Sugar and then Potato Starch. Only marginal but the No-added sugar version is 11g carb against 14.7g whilst the sugar content is 5.4g instead of 12.2g, so it depends on your reaction to Maltodextrin, which is a carb, but not necessarily causing a BG rise. I was just commenting on the method of making.
