TFA Sweet Cream

submitted over 10 years ago by charlieremembers

Just wondering what you all think of TFA's Sweet cream. How creamy is it, and what are it's best applications for beginner divers? Thanks

In my experience it's not very sweet, it's not very "creamy" as you would think either. It's a lot like plain coffee creamer. Just a little milky flavor.

It has uses for sure, but if you want a sweeter, creamier flavor, use TFA Bavarian cream.

This is exactly how I see it as well.

I use Sweet Cream as a flavor enhancer and in small quantities. It does great things to sweet/custardy recipes.

I agree. I use it primarily for a cream base that I enjoy

25% Sweet Cream

25% Bavarian Cream

25% WHipped Cream

10% Dulce De Leche

5% Irish Cream

5% Butterscotch

5% Coconut Candy

I'm assuming that those are the percentages for the total flavorings and not the entire recipe? :P

That's just for the base to be added to a recipe, like any other flavor. I would mix this base up, then add between 2-6% of it to another recipe.

Like so:

10% TFA Banana Cream

3% ErsatzSemblance's Cream Base

2% TFA Dragon Fruit

2% TFA Graham Cracker (Clear)

My girlfriend wanted something with raspberry, so I went 10% TFA Raspberry (Sweet) and 2% TFA Sweet Cream. I'll update once it's done warm bath steeping.

That seems like an awful lot of raspberry, I usually use it around 5%

I hope it's good. I've had a hell of a time getting raspberry to work for me.

Inawera raspberry is magic! FA is good as well.

I'll check it out. Are you mixing solo, or with other flavors?

I second this, Inawera is amazing, FA is very good, the rest are meh at best.

First impressions aren't great, although it's only had a couple hours to mix in the warm bath. If it doesn't develop much further over the next week ish, I wont recommend this mix. All cream, hardly any sweet. Really too early to tell though.

I use this flavoring quite often, up to 3%. IMO, it leans more towards sweet than it does cream. I've had success using it in combination with FA's fresh cream.

I totally dig the potential. After tonight I'm convinced it'll synergies really well with other more prominent flavors. Might be the extra body/boldness i've been looking for.

I love cream flavors but I hate this one. I can taste it at 1% even when mixed with a plethora of other things. I have no idea why, people seem to like it. I cannot.

same dude, I can't even think about it without gagging. I'm glad someone else out there agrees
