Simple modified straw and cream make it better!

submitted about 7 years ago by forgetfulcord54

Here is my simple modified recipe that I'm looking for tips or notes on. https://imgur.com/gallery/1cEg17j

I'm thinking of reducing the strawberry ripe to 3.5 and upping strawberry up to 3.5. I also think the DX marshmallow could go up to .5 and sweetner to 1%. It taste great after 7 days but could always be better.

The marshmallow adds some smoothness to the Bavarian cream. The cream is an obvious base to the cream.

The strawberry and S ripe give a more rounded strawberry flavor.

The sweetener is obvious here but could use a bit more. I like the Graham cracker base here as is but feels like it's missing a little something.

I have a mix really close to that. I love it, it's my daily. Last go round I tried vanilla whipped cream instead of regular whipped cream and it's pretty good.

Edit: that's for a 100 MLs

Add some sweet cream (Tfa) works great with the Bavarian cream

You might consider subbing 1.5-2% RF SC Strawberry for the regular Strawberry. I really dig it with ripe. It tastes a little like candy alone but it really brightens up the Ripe when added to it.

Also I know your trying to keep it simple but adding a bit of TPA Vanilla Custard really adds creaminess to the Bavarian Cream(or maybe vise versa but I love the 2 together).

I had this thought about the custard also I think I'll make a tester at least give it a shot.

Looks good , but why dx marshmallow? I like 4% ripe 3% regular strawberry works well for me.

Idk the Bavarian cream itself doesn't seem to do it for me. I like a little fluffy marshmallowey-ness. Maybe something else in its place would be better?

I have a half dozen strawberry cream recipes. IMO, the better ones have some form of marshmallow. If Dx works for you, don't sweat it. But you might be missing out on something better if you don't try some others...

What the other guys are getting at, is the DX range isn't very highly regarded around here. It's a range created to avoid diketones in concentrates, which some people don't want to vape. In order to do this, they used butyric acid, which a lot of people will smell as vomit/rotting dairy.

I have used a few DX flavours, and they are ok, but I would avoid any dairy DX flavours like the plague.

Generally a non DX flavour will be better and steep quicker than a DX version.

Oh yea I understand that. The only reason I have the DX is due to the fact that my first flavor order was a mixed bag of indecision and ignorance. It's the only mallow flavor I had at the moment.

0.25 - 0.5% TFA Orange Cream

1% TFA Malted Milk

0.15 % FLV Lychee or 1.75% FA Nut Mix, depending if you want to add nuts, or really accentuate the strawberry.

A few things to note here, as I've never used the DX version of TPA Marshmallow, I can't really speak to how it interacts in a mix, but at that low of a percent, you're most likely not even getting much from it. I like TPA Marshmallow, but solely because of the flavour. It, along with most marshmallow flavours, tend to mute the fuck out of recipes, especially strawberry ones, as those are already difficult to get a lot of flavour from.

For me, doing strawberry creams because easier once I stopped trying to go the "standard" route of using TPA Strawberry/StrawRipe, Bav Cream, Cheesecake, Graham Crust, etc. I feel like there are far better options now than when that was the standard.

The last time I went after a strawberry cream, I was using HS French Vanilla Ice Cream and CAP Vanilla Custard V1 for the cream (this pairing creates a very thick, malty, and "accurate" base to work off of. For the strawberry, I went with my current favourite pairing of CAP Sweet Strawberry and FA Strawberry (Red Touch). This combination builds a sweet, potent, and fairly accurate strawberry instead of something that, to me, tastes artificial and candied with the TPA options. As for additives, I would usually go the route of maybe some FW Hazelnut if you want to create something that focuses more on the cream, or TPA Dragonfruit or FA Lemon Sicily if you want to brighten up the berries.
