A little help with some ice cream
submitted about 11 years ago by christianop

A friend wants me to make him some regular vanilla ice cream. I've got TFA vanilla bean ice cream, should I just add that at 10 percent?

I was thinking like...

Vanilla bean 7% Bavarian cream 3%

Thoughts?

TFA vanilla swirl is a good addition too. It is like soft serve ice cream.

Maybe try a hint of marshmallow to give it a creamy sweetness. I have no idea for sure, I've never tried making an ice cream flavor though.

Try using FA Vienna Cream as it is very similar to the ice creams' sweetness and creamy undertones. You can always trust the italians to get the desserts right

For any frozen dessert type of flavor I like to add a touch of Koolada to fake the "cold" of the ice.

Vanilla Custard (CAP) the best route to go in my opinion. Vanilla Bean Ice Cream isnt bad but just doesn't taste quite right as a stand alone in my opinion.

  • TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 5%
  • TFA Cheesecake 2%
  • TFA Whipped Cream 1.5%
  • TFA Bavarian Cream 2%
  • TFA French Vanilla Deluxe 1%.

You can probably up the VBIC to 7%, but I haven't tried it that high.

The result is subtle, but very rich.

I've noticed that Sweet Cream has a weird taste to it and in just about any amount will add a weird plastic flavor to a mix, so I don't use it anymore. The original version of this that I made contained it, but it's much better without.

You could also add .25% coconut extra to add 'bite' or .5% marshmallow to add 'body'.

An older version of my Banana Milkshake recipe:

7% tfa Banana Cream 1% tfa Sweet Cream .5% tfa ethyl maltol, bavarian cream, french vanilla

This is an older version, I've since worked in menthol/koolada and am making a better base out of Cap banana/TFA banana cream and using different vanilla/cream notes. The version above is just the most successful mix so far.
