Need some input on a vanilla custard recipe I've been working on.

submitted almost 11 years ago by xxwolfpackof1xxMixologist

Title says it all, here's the recipe.

FA Vanilla Classic 4%
TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato 3%
TFA Whipped Cream 2%
FW Toasted Marshmallow 1%
CAP Vanilla Custard v2 2%
CAP Graham Cracker v2 2%

What do y'all think? I'm unsure if I should add some Bavarian cream or some cheesecake or swap something out for it. Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks in advanced.

Flavourart makes some great flavors that compliment custards, you should probably check out the following

FA Fresh Cream

FA Vienna Cream

FA Custard

FA Catalan Cream

FA Butterscotch

These flavors standalone aren't very impressive but they'll go amazing with custards, fruits, desserts and pretty much anything you want to add that extra creaminess and richness to.

I second these suggestions. Be aware that FA Custard and Catalan Cream both have a tart/citrus note to them, but they do go well in custard if that's what you're looking for. I also really like 0.5-1% FA Apple Pie with my custard. It adds a spiced crust note without any discernible apple flavor.

That looks tasty! Im a big fan of VC+ new york cheesecake. I haven't tried the vanilla classic before but that looks pretty good.

What do you think is missing? I can never get V2 to do what I want. Instead of Graham Cracker, Flavor Wests Cinnamon Roll (around 2-3%) adds a nice kick to custards if thats the sort of area youre looking at.

I'd swap the whipped cream for bavarian cream, same percentage.

If you want something more custardy, swap to V1 CAP VC and go up to 6-7%. Would be a strong 'vanilla' custard.

Damn I don't own any v1 I'll have to grab some after the holidays when I can spare the cash.

I feel that tfa graham cracker clear tastes much better paired with custard than capellas graham cracker does. It doesn't really add a taste more like it sweetens it and gives it body and more richness. Capellas new york cheesecake is a good addition at less than 1%, like 1-0.5%. Anything higher you get a funky smell and it gives a sharpness to the mix that i dont care for. I've also started adding Flavorwest Vanilla custard at 4-7% to my custard mixes too. Its gross on its own and at high percentages but buried in a capellas custard mix it gives it that kind "hmm what is that, that's good" kinda taste that keeps you vaping it
