What's poppin' family. I'm going to keep this one short and sweet so we can get back to mixin'. This is hands down my favorite Vanilla Custard I've been vaping as of late, and if you know me, I mix my fair share of custards. This one is simple, uses fairly common and accessable ingredients (maybe not VT Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and FA Custard Premium, but if you don't have them you should), and packs a whole lot of flavor. I've approached this recipe as kind of a throwback, or an updated version of classic combinations. FA Custard Premium instead of CAP Vanilla Custard V1, INW Yes, We Cheesecake instead of TFA Cheesecake (Graham Crust)...you get the picture. It's about upgrades. At the end of the day it's super smooth and the thick vanilla cream takes center stage. Anyway, let's get to the recipe.
|Flavor Co.|Flavor|%| |:-|:-|:-| |FA|Custard Premium|2.5| |INW|Custard|1.75| |VT|Vanilla Buttercream Frosting|1.5| |FA|Vienna Cream|1.25| |INW|Yes, We Cheesecake|2.5| |FLV|Milk & Honey|0.5|
10% total, 2 week steep, and I add CAP Super Sweet because I want to. Add sweetener of your choice if that's your thing.
Custard base boys, and this one slaps. FA Custard Premium and INW Custard deliver a symphony of flavor, harmonious like Jordan and Pippen. These two were built for each other and brilliantly lay the groundwork for a dense, buttery and eggy cream. The decadent vanilla starts to develop in this layer, which we will bolster with a few other choice concentrates. It's quite the canvas to work with.
VT Vanilla Buttercream Frosting is without a doubt a serious banger. The bright vanilla is complex and rich in this frosting offering, and it plays wonderfully into our already developed base. Butter, creaminess, vanilla and sweetness. This one is a keeper, pick it up if you don't have it.
FA Vienna Cream the mf'in OG. A classic concentrate when you want your cream silky smooth. It brings more vanilla and a velvety creaminess to our recipe that really helps our custard sing. I constantly find myself turning to this concentrate when I'm making cream recipes because it's so delicious. Downside? It brings the recipe to a two week steep. Worth it.
FLV Milk & Honey can be tricky. For this recipe it adds depth, and brings our bright, in your face vanillas into balance. Lingering dark sweetness galavants throughout the vape that is a welcome addition and adds intrigue. It's a great flavor if you want to add a little mystery and sophistaction to your recipes.
INW Yes, We Cheesecake brethren. Graham cracker and cookie notes. Graininess. Creaminess and body. This is a one stop shop of deliciousness and I'm hoping that most of you mixers have had the opportunity to play with this workhorse. Bakeries almost always work well in custards to solidify an awesome creamy body, and it shines here.
And that's that. My newest Custard in 2020. It's simple enough, and packs a ton of flavor. I hope you all enjoy. Cheers.

I wonder what would be the result if you ever used your talents for good, and created a truly creamy chocolate mousse, rather than all these vanilla and egg infested things...
Blatant enough challenge?
Challenge accepted. It'll require a decent amount of testing however because I'm not a huge fan of chocolates and how they play together (even though I have like 30 chocolate concentrates). Let me get to brain storming. I got you.
Hot damn. This should be interesting. And versatile. It could be a base for so much to be added to. Coconut. Banana. Caramel. Peanut butter. Mint. Coffee. Bacon. Tobacco. A floral like rose...
Don't worry if it is more pudding than mousse. Either is good.
Chocolates!!! Got a bunch (≈10+) myself but usually never work out right in vape form (atleast for my palette) 🤨 might want to check out the Mayan Milk recipe for ideas... Also Flapper Pie has a chocolate in it (Surprise! 🥴) Actually it works pretty well in there and is atleast vapable... So that could lend another start on your base... Good luck and may the force be with you! 👍👊
Is that FA Custard Premium the one that is a bit difficult to get?
True. I forget I bought in bulk last time I copped it from chefs. Edited!
It's an amazing recipe. How much different would it be with CAP Custard v1?
I admit I have never tried Custard Premium.
Another banger here brother! 👍👍 Just made day 15 without testing it... Threw it on a 26g tri-core fused clapton (dual) on my Drop and boy oh boy! A nice flavorful vanilla custard! It's reminiscent of older style custards but seems to have more pronounced flavor than I remember them having... Nice job again! Thanks! 👊
I get major coconut from yes we cheesecake.. I like it...but coconut sometimes doesn't belong in a recipe..I get it in tpa cheesecake graham crust but just very light and can bury it. I don't get it from caps ny tho... Guess I'm just weird..will be trying the recipe tho.😊
How would I go about substituting VT Vanilla Frosting? I have everything else on the list and want to give it a try without ruining it too much... Maybe just leave it out?
I would just sub it for INW Shisha Vanilla. Do you have any other frostings? Maybe Frosting FLV? The reason i used this frosting is because the vanilla is so complex and rich. Do you have Vanilla Extra WF? that might work well too.
