I’ve got a 1kg catering pack of thickening granules. What can I thicken that will still taste good, but be unusually thick?

You can make a great simple dessert by adding sugar to coconut milk then thickening to a gravy consistency. Set in fridge and it’ll be like panna cotta

They should be tasteless. We used to buy them in massive buckets when I worked in aged care & would thicken water with them for the residents with dysphagia. The water was tasteless but alarmingly thick.

I guess any asian recipes with gravy, and you use the thickening granules instead of corn starch slurry. I used to make this veggie mince meat stew that's super good when thickened. Nothing much to it too, its just a typical student recipe. Fry the meat, then put in veggies, some water and aromatics, then let boil for a bit, then season to taste. Once everything is good to eat, stir in corn starch slurry, and you'll be good to go. Got inspired by ying yong cantonese style noodles.

Yeah stick with cornstarch for that, you don't want to be eating stuff with too much xantham in, it's more slimy and gooey than thick

Juices and then you can have slices of jam. Put peanutbutter on top and you have a pbj but literally as the jelly is the sandwichbread. Milk, so cereals wont get soggy. Gazpacho or other cold soups.

I used thickening granules when my SO had trouble swallowing. It's great for hot beverages, but to thicken cold beverages without getting an applesauce texture, mix the granules with enough hot water to dissolve the granules, then slowly stir in the beverage (like making gravy). It's a thickener, not a gel. Much as I love the sliced tea and biscuit crumb idea, it will never solidify to slicing strength. My SO needed honey consistency, so I never tried to see how thick it could go.

Considering the things need to be heated in order for the granules to be dissolved..... I would definitely go with making a stew loaf. Milkshakes, too. McD's shakes are thickened with potato starch, which is what thickening granules are made from, so I would absolutely be making them. Also beer/wine, for the horrors.

Juice, you can turn it onto something gelatinous. Not sure what granules you have but I’m a former chef so I’ve got experience with some of them. If you got ultratex then you have hit a jackpot. Ultratex is tasteless so you can add it to juices to make gels. I was a pastry chef so I’ve made them into desserts. But you can make savoury gels as well. But if you let me know exactly what you have I might be able to help you play with it
