I POSTED THIS RECIPE A YEAR AGO BUT HAVE REPOSTED FOR ALL THE NEW MIXERS. if this isn't allowed please delete.

Finally after many attempts at getting this flavour profile to match the original flavour of the UK's favourite biscuit, I think I'm there. I'd like to say I've nailed it, but that's for you to decide.

The Description

A custard cream is a type of biscuit popular in the British Isles and Ireland. Its structure is that of a sandwich, with a creamy, custard-flavoured centre between two flat biscuit layers.

The Recipe

  • TFA Coconut 1.5%
  • CAP Vanilla custard V1 2.5%
  • TFA Whipped cream 1%
  • TFA Sweet cream 1%
  • CAP SL Biscuit 2%
  • CAP Sugar cookie 1%
  • TFA Cheesecake Graham crust 1%
  • TFA Marshmallow 0.5%

Steep Time

Minimum of 3 days, best after 5.

The Process

Custard creams are by far my favourite biscuit and I've wanted to try and recreate them in vape form for quite some time, it's taken me a while but I think I'm there, here was my thought process

  • TFA Coconut
    While custard creams don't have a major coconut flavour to them, there are some very mild hints of it within the biscuit so I opted for a low percentage here. I started at .5% and slowly worked up. For me 1.5% is the sweet spot

  • CAP Vanilla custard
    Clues in the name, custard cream. It needed the daddy of custard a here to give it a solid, thick custard note. I originally worked with INW custard but it just didn't hold in the mix as well as the Capella.

  • TFA Whipped cream
    This brings a lighter, fluffy note to the dense custard filling, bringing it into the realm of a cream rather than a solid heavy custard

  • TFA Sweet cream
    Again this works along side the whipped cream to create a custard flavoured cream filling, as opposed to just a thick custard. Originally I used just the whipped cream, but adding in a touch of sweet cream helped mould the flavour notes together, something which I struggled with the most in this recipe.

  • CAP SL Biscuit
    The godsend that is capellas new silver line range. This is the best biscuit flavour I've had to date, and it's my golden ingredient in this recipe that makes the whole thing work. It brings that perfect crumbly biscuit profile that I was looking for.

  • CAP sugar cookie
    While Capella biscuit is great as it is, it brings a digestive biscuit taste, which custard creams most certainly are not. In comes a touch of sugar cookie to round out the full biscuit flavour.

  • TFA cheesecake Graham crust
    I thought the biscuit part of this recipe was complete with the previous ingredients, but I couldn't help wonder if a touch of Graham crust would finish it all off nicely, curiosity got the better of me so I added it in.......turns out it was a real eurika moment!

  • TFA Marshmallow
    Thus tiny amount was added to finish off the cream filling. If I'm being totally honest it could possibly be omitted. But for me I feel like it just works. Can't give you a fancy description or reason, it's just one if those things......it works.

That's it! Get mixing and make sure you come back and give me some feedback

I think if there was ever a time for us to be putting up some of our favorite recipes or easy newbie mixes, this is it. Good on you for sharing.

Great! Hopefully it'll inspire some of those who were on the fence about mixing to give a few a try.

No problem. A few people said I'd nailed the profile when I originally posted this, and it's one of my favourite original creations to date so hopefully some of the newer mixers can enjoy this too

I'd bet the slightly boozy off-chocolate of Liquid Barn Lava Cake added here at about 2.5% would do it without too much other modification.

Is this mixed in a VG nic base or measured out into a 70 30?

by sirfletchalotalmost 6 years agoI <3 ID10-T

This is just the flavours. Use whichever calculator you choose to add in your nic, and pg/vg levels

Well max VG can be muted compared to a recipe designed in 70 30, 75 25 mixes.

So my nic is 72mg suspended in VG and i mix this recipe to 70/30

So before this thread gets archived I just want you to know I read this recipe and knew it was a must mix. After I ordered everything I didn't have I went to mix it up only to find I had run out of custard.

So here I am 1 day into the steep. Waiting. Mouth watering in anticipation.

>best after 5.

:(

How was it?

It tasted like how I imagine suntan lotion tastes.

I used INW biscuit though.

some people love the taste of suntan lotion apparently.
