Breakdown

I have a friend who vapes nothing but vanilla and tobacco in a MTL device. He asked if I could make him a nice vanilla juice, which got me thinking that there isn't much in the way of plain vanilla. sure there's plenty of vanilla based recipes but I havnt come across much that focuses on just the core vanilla flavour, so this journey came to fruition.

• French vanilla deluxe
  this was always going to be my main flavour profile for this recipe. I love the texture of this vanilla and felt it would hold its own once combined with the rest of the recipe.

• Vanilla custard
  enough said. This was added to give the end result some thickness. and let's face it, who doesn't like vanilla custard?

• Bavarian cream
  I chose bavarian cream for this recipe to thicken out the mouthfeel along with the custard without adding too much sweetness as ill be adding some sweeter notes later.

• Cheesecake Graham crust
  this was used to give us a different dimension in the texture, giving a slight crumb base to let the vanilla work off. It also helped to bring the vanilla and creams together in harmony.

• Dulce de leché
  a small percentage was added here to help the vanilla 'pop'! it brings a tiny caramel note into the flavour that bounces nicely off the creams, and also brings a bit more sweetness into the mix.

• Vanilla swirl
  I'm not the biggest fan of this flavour on its own, but when combined with French vanilla deluxe it really does enhance that vanilla goodness, so a small amount was added here.

• Vanilla bean ice cream
  I chose to incorporate some VBIC in here to play alongside the custard and enhance the thickness and mouthfeel. I don't feel this adds anything to the flavour profile as such but it does help with the texture.

• Sweet cream
  finally this was added to finish off the cream part of the profile and along with the dulce de leche add some sweetness into the recipe without turning to sweetener.

This recipe has gone through several changes over the last 2 months and this is the one I am finally happy with. If you're a big vanilla fan like myself then give it a shot and make sure to come back with your verdict.

Happy Vaping
