Pumpkin Pie Recipe Sucks - Need Help

submitted about 10 years ago by dade1701

Looking to get advice in a recipe I've tried recently. After a month steep, it tastes very harsh and almost burnt. There's a very chemical and burnt flavor I get from it. Nothing like I was expecting. Any advice on tweaks I should make? This is my first experience with pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin Pie

Bavarian Cream (TPA) 1% Pie Crust (TPA) 1% Pumpkin (TPA) 5% Pumpkin Spice (TPA) 3% Whipped Cream (TPA) 1%

Where did you come up with these percentages?

I would go with something like:

3% TFA Bavarian Cream
8% TFA Pumpkin
0.5% TFA Pumpkin Spice
0.5% TFA Pie Crust or 1% Graham Cracker
3% TFA or CAP Vanilla Custard
1-2% TFA Sweetener (take bitterness out of Pumpkin)

This man speaks the truth, you trying to kill someone with pumpkin? Might be attempted murder/suicide...

Recipe is based off of a ELR recipe but I adjusted to what I had available to me.

Pumpkin is bitter that makes more sense, thanks for all the information I'll try this next time I sit down to mix.

I need to give it ago again soon. I tried it when I first started mixing and hated it. Thinking back it was the way I was mixing

I know this is a generic response but have you tried making the same recipe at 0mg nic?

Not yet but this is the first time I've messed with pumpkin and can't imagine it being this way off. But thanks everyone for their suggestions. I'll redo it again next time.

Lower the spice down a lot. Like, 1% or less.
