I've almost mastered using a pastry case filled with a fairly stiffly made outer ring of angel delight and then filling the centre with custard. It has great results
cool thanks for the input guys. I have been using squirty cream as said as its simple and easy, however i have brought some shaving foam to see how that goes. Just quick and easy for lots of pies however i would definatly like to try some of the options above.
I've switched to casein (protein) fluff with a small % of xanthan gum brilliant. You need an electric hand masher to mash real fruit with the fluff/gum. Then add a small quantity if milk & mix for a few seconds with an electric mixer. I've made banana, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, and mango pies. Decorate with cream & serve!
These pies are very easy & quick to make, using far less milk than angel delight (which is limited to just a few flavours). They also stick well to the face. Just avoid using too much of the xanthan gum - 2% is sufficient.
Best place to buy casein fluff and xanthan gum in the UK is Holland & Barrett. Fruit from any supermarket - go for very ripe stuff.
Ever tried custard with flour mixed in? Mix cold custard with the flour in a bowl until you get the thickness you want. Pic attached shows a large flan case, but it can get heavy. Try the small flan cases. Have fun!

LIke the idea of making the custard a little thicker! Will give this a go at some point

I suppose it all depends on how you do it!
If you throw them......or if you do the good old 2 pies to the head scenario! I have to admit the two pies to the head is so...................my fav and here are some of my results for the latter
The 3rd and last are the best for effect...........and I feel a new thread coming on :p
