Turkish delight
INGREDIENTS
8 fl.oz cold water
3 Tblsp Rose Essence
3-4 Tblsp Splenda
2 Sachets gelatine
Frylight
Pink Colouring paste
1 tsp icing sugar (1 syn)

Spray some silicone ice cube trays with frylight

In a small saucepan mix the water, Rose essence and sweetener together and slowly bring to the boil

Lower to a simmer and whisk in the gelatine powder.

Carefully pour into the moulds

Using a cooks paintbrush or toothpick, pick up some pink colour paste and mix into each cube

Set in the fridge

Push cubes out.

In a separate bowl sieve the icing sugar.
Dip the 'Turkish delight' into the sugar as you eat.

If sprinkled on top, it dissolves and disappears

i haven't tried this yet x

omg that sounds amazing and its almost free,im off to ebay now to see if i can find pink paste and rose essence,let me know what there like when you make them or post a pic x,thanks for the recepie

Do you think you could use vege-gel instead of gelatine for turkish delight?

yes i don't see why not

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but you would maybe need ti increase the fluid elsewhere with stock or plain water, or FF/quark for the missing creaminess given by coconut milk?
