TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. And it’s safe to say that I finally understand what everyone’s talking about when they refer to the “pepper” effect.

😖😖🤢🤢🤮🤮

Sorry to hear that. I luckily don’t have that issue. Try using Liquid Barn instead. You may still get that pepper note but it’s less pronounced. If that don’t work Fa’s Vanilla Ice Cream is underutilized and delicious imo

I redid the recipe with Bickford Vanilla Ice Cream and it came out great

oh man that sucks! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones? TFA VBIC is one of my staples, although it needs a few weeks to really shine in a juice

I remember noticing the effect when I first tried ice cream flavoring alone. But now, no.

CAPs version is a good 1:1 substitute, although not as thick and rich

Just out of curiosity what percentage were you using it at? Luckily I don't get pepper from it but I tend to use it lower in my recipes along with other creams.

I find that I get that spiced note from the vanilla bean. But I don’t quite get pepper. I bought a 30 ml of it and prefer liquid barns vanilla ice cream personally. But I don’t know if I’ve ever given tfa’s more than a week or two steep. Still found a bit of a spiced note in it. Just not what I would consider a pepper taste.

I had that, used FW VBIC as a sub. Interestingly now TFA VBIC taste ok to me, so there is hope. I had a period where most strawberries tasted like farts too, that was dark period of my life. My point is, use a sub but don't give up on it, check back in a while and see if you can still taste the pepper :)
