Let's make a Lemon Custard!

Test notes v3:
What an improvement! It’s satisfyingly thick, creamy although nothing too crazy and the custard level is well balanced from the ‘cake’ aspect from the Chemnovatic LCW.
As far as the lemon goes, I’d say it could be pushed a touch higher bearing in mind that INW Lemon Mix is a fairly flat delivery. As I mentioned, it was in here to add juiciness (relief from any dry notes). I’ve since got SSA Natural Lemon and yet to test it.
I personally think it’s missing a bit of buttery goo in the custard so adding something like WF Flan but keep it fairly low (0.75% to 1%) may be the answer - Could add LB VIC at 1% but a bit bored of this maneuver ATM. Also, SSA Cornish Cream can totally be lowered by 0.5% as the mouthfeel kicks in at 1%.
So a couple of adjustments, it would go as follows:

Caramel Butter (WF) at 1.5% (raise by 0.5%)
Cornish Cream (SSA) at 1.5% (lowered by 0.5%)
Custard (FA) at 3.5%
Devon Cream (CCW) at 2.5%
Lemon Cream Wafer (Chemnovatic) at 4%
Lemon Mix WG (INW at 0.25%
Vanilla Custard II (TPA) at 3.5%
Flan (WF) at 0.75%

and here comes in maybe Natural Lemon (SSA) at 1%

That would make the recipe fully verified so please chime in and give your thoughts on what you’d do! As the title states, it’s a collaboration and wouldn’t have got it to this point so far without you excellent mixers thoughts/opinions :smile:
