Introduction:

These times are fraught with great cheesecake frustration. Many souls have wandered the desert looking for a solid cheesecake vape, only to experience crushing defeat at the hands of off notes and graham cracker crusts. I come with another message of hope. I found this combination after the pleasurable experience of single flavor testing INW - Yes, We Cheesecake. The cheesecake trinity is a 3,2,1 combination as follows:

|INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|3%| |:-|:-| |CAP - New York Cheesecake|2%| |TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust)|1%|

The INW - Yes, We Cheesecake is the best cheesecake flavor available and creates the base for the trinity. Capella - New York Cheesecake is the first support flavor, bringing an additional note of caramelized sugar for the crust, adding some serious creaminess, and opening the bridge to vanilla flavors a bit more. Lastly, the TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust) completes the crusty undertone portion of the trinity and adds another hint of dairy. This trio can be used in any capacity to add an authentic and delicious cheesecake profile to a recipe. It's okay in a SNV, but I really suggest waiting about a week for it to come together.

Recipes:

Lemon Curd Cheesecake:

|TFA - Cheesecake Graham Crust|1%| |:-|:-| |FE - Lemon|3%| |CAP - New York Cheesecake|2%| |INW - Shisha Vanilla|.5%| |CAP - Super Sweet|.5%| |LB - Vanilla Ice Cream|2%| |INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|3%|

Development Notes:

I was inspired to create this first recipe because lemon dessert profiles hold some significance to me. I stopped smoking with Charlie's Chalk Dust - Mr. Meringue, and the shortcomings of that liquid led to my pursuit of DIY. Additionally, one of my favorite recipes since I started DIY is Lemon Tart Remixed by dazcole. That recipe has all of the nuances I was searching for, and I would not change anything about it for a wonderful lemon tart. I've already covered the reasoning behind the cheesecake trinity, so I will elaborate on the other decisions. I used FE Lemon because I've tried various combinations of other lemon top notes that just do not work as well. This lemon flavor is a very sweet and non-invasive one that works in dessert applications magically. I originally purchased it to mix dazcole's lemon tart recipe, and after single flavor testing it I can absolutely see why it was picked. A lemon curd would not be complete without eggs and butter, so I decided to use LB Vanilla Ice Cream for this. Not only does it bring the elements required for the lemon curd, but it helps to connect the lemon curd to the cheesecake with vanilla notes and creamy texture. Lastly, INW Shisha Vanilla was added to bring a more distinct vanilla note to the cheesecake trinity. Sweetener is always optional.

Daveberry Cheesecake:

|TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust)|1.5%| |:-|:-| |CAP - New York Cheesecake|2.5%| |TFA - Pie Crust|1%| |FA - Red Touch (Strawberry)|1%| |INW - Shisha Strawberry|1.5%| |JF - Sweet Strawberry|.75%| |CAP - Super Sweet|.5%| |INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|4%|

Development Notes:

Full credit goes to u/ID10-T for the groundbreaking and delicious combination of strawberry flavors used in this. His description is more than sufficient: A unique strawberry syrup (INW Shisha Strawberry), a realistic freeze-dried strawberry (FA Red Touch), and a candy strawberry that puts CAP Sweet Strawberry to shame (JF Sweet Strawberry). This was used to create the semi-artificial strawberry topping for the cheesecake recipe. I decided to add some TFA Pie Crust to bring out the graham cracker crust a bit more, and deepen the profile to balance with the strawberry's tartness.

Holy Trinity Ice Cream:

|FA - Bilberry|.25%| |:-|:-| |FW - Blueberry|1%| |TFA - Blueberry (Extra)|1.5%| |TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust)|.25%| |CAP - New York Cheesecake|.5%| |INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|1%| |FLV - Cream|.5%| |TFA - Vanilla Swirl|1%| |WS-23|.5%|

Development Notes:

This recipe was inspired by the MixenVixens blueberry ice cream recipes. It utilizes u/EdibleMalfunction's Holy Trinity of Blueberry. I specifically picked Rin's Blueberry Ice Cream recipe as the inspiration for this, because she mixes at low percentages, and it really demonstrates the versatility of the cheesecake trinity. My favorite ice cream base is a combination of FLV Cream and vanilla, found in both Rin's Recipe and Longing. FLV Cream is a bit hard for me to summarize, other than by saying it's an incredible cream flavor and should be added to everything. Vanilla Swirl is the most common vanilla, with a smooth and unobtrusive vanilla taste and a ridiculous amount of body. FA Bilberry adds an awesome depth and muskiness that helps combat the muting effect of vanilla swirl, and it should always be used at a low percentage if you don't want to end up in Funky Town. FW Blueberry brings the blueberry flavor to the top with a bold somewhat-artificial flavor. TFA Blueberry (Extra) is a natural blueberry that helps tie into the ice cream seamlessly. You can try this with or without the WS-23, it was added because ice cream is cold.

Conclusion:

Thank you for taking the time to read through this. While I would love for you to try one of my recipes utilizing the cheesecake trinity, I am mostly sharing it because I want to try your cheesecake recipes with it. There are numerous ways I have utilized it, but u/Apexified is required to try every recipe submitted this month, so I will restrict myself to three.
