Apart from some sort of vanilla, what’s your secret weapon for Custard?
I use two creams, but CAP New York Cheese Cake @ 2% is mine.
Apart from providing 1 part of the two creams, it also gives a bakery/biscuit crust note I like in custards.
What’s yours?
@ianc13 Like I mentioned I use CAP New York Cheese Cake as one cream and the other (at the moment) is CC Devon Cream. But saying that, I’m really digging a current custard using only the CAP NYCK and LB Vanilla Ice Cream for the wonderful eggy/buttery goodness. Not to mention it’s awesome vanilla note!
Lol, yes and no hangover either, must be a Christmas Miracle
I normally layer my Custards together so if I want really eggy I go for FA Premium & INW. WF VC has now almost replaced CAP VC1 for me. I then add one or 2 creams, JF Bavarian is a good choice or CCW Devon, then the Panna Cotta is added to these, it gives a fantastic mouthfeel due to the Gelatanious texture it has as well as a Vanilla boost. Being creamy too it doesn’t take away from the actual custard like some cakes, cookies can
Awesome @Sheerluck_Ohms. So glad you weighed in on the topic. I’ve also been using INW custard. On it’s own I find it lacking, but when layered it becomes so much more. I like the fact it’s fairly basic as I can bend it to my needs.
Ohh, I’ve got MB Panna Cotta!! Off I skip to the lab.
Custard for me is a work in progress situation. I get odd burnt caramel notes from most custards. Honestly I am looking for an eggy cream custard (similar to something tasted when I first started vaping).
Cap custards are a no go. Custard premium and custard inw are close but that burnt note comes out when I push the flavor.
@ChrisPDX I hear ya mate, that’s when some kinda buttery smoothness needs to mask over those off notes (all be it very minor notes for me). Have you tried pairing INW Custard at 3% with LB Vanilla Ice Cream (pretty low) at 1.5% ?
Never tried FA Cardamom but from the notes on ELR it sounds really interesting. I quite like spice for example FLV Eggnog. Yep, gonna have to get that Cardamom.
It is extremely strong. For me, I can only put ONE drop in 100 ml. I’m not sure how others do it but I dilute mine…
If you live in the states I can make you a dilution if you want. I dilute mine quite low so this bottle I have will last forever so sharing it will not put me out.
@Dan_the_Man So kind of you, but I live across the pond. I’ll eventually get it though as I really want to extend my spice collection. When I do, I’ll be getting Vanilla Custard Cheesecake (OOO) along with it. That’ll allow me to mix ’ Card_A_Mom’
