First decent recipe Vanilla caramel custard

submitted about 10 years ago by CtrlaltDelTaco

This is the first recipe I came up with that I really enjoy. I'm pretty excited to share it with you guys. I just started DIY about a month ago. I'm really glad I made the switch. I lurked this sub for a good year before I decided to make the switch. Juice Wayne's DIY or DIE channel on YouTube really convinced me to take the plunge into this. I thank all of you guys so much for all that you put into this community. Without further ado here is my recipe. Any criticism or suggestions are welcomed as I have pretty much no experience so far.

Vanilla custard V1 (CAP) 7.5% Caramel original (TFA) 3% Sweet cream (TFA) 2%

Needs an overnight steep not a good shake and vape at all. The caramel really comes to life after 2-3 days.

If you switch the Capella Custard to TFA's Custard, you'll have a clone of Tug Juice's Creamynibbles

Sorry man, didn't see this reply. I usually do

7% TFA Vanilla Custard
3% TFA Sweet Cream
5% TFA Caramel (Original)

It's not a 1:1 clone, but if your a fan of that juice, you'll probably like this. Btw I also like to add TFA Candy Caramel @ 1.5% but the recipe does taste good without it

Ive never thought to add sweet cream to custard. I may try your recipe as I love custards and I have a huge bottle of sweet cream to go through.

If you like coconut, a dash (like .5 to 1%) of coconut extra adds a nice new dimension to vanilla custard.

That sounds really good too. I'm gonna give that a try, I have coconut but no caramel, it should still be good right? This will be my first go at mixing ;)

ITS A MUST!

Dulche / sweet cream / bavarian in custard take it over the top.

Im a big fan of dulce de leche in custard. I was always afraid that Bavarian Cream would mute the flavors though. Ill have to try it.

Congrats on your recipe.
Can't wait to try it.
You should name it "Taco Custard".

Juice Wayne..... lol. That seems to fit him better than Young Lungs and his other aliases.

Thanks for the recipe OP!

I have mixed up two versions, one is as per your recipe, the other has 1% Brown Sugar added.. was thinking this will help bring out the caramel note more. Guess we'll see in a few days.

Love the sound of this. I might add a Hazelnut twist to it, see what results I get.

Looks good. No problems with the Caramel overpowering your other flavors after steeping? Every recipe I've tried with Caramel between 2-4% winds up tasting like pure caramel

The caramel is front and center but I like it that way. I get a light vanilla custard on the exhale. It's nice.

This turned out to be quite good. I made some 4 days ago and just now got around to trying it. I used V2 of the custard but otherwise followed the recipe as is. The caramel/custard balance is spot on. I'm thinking this may make a good base for something a little more complex. Maybe add some kind of berry/fruit and/or tobacco. Have you tried doing anything like that?

No but that's a good idea.

Not a problem. CAP vanilla custard is one of my favorites.
