DIY Dessert & Candy Recipes

I got tired of all the Custard juices around - even the famous Grant's Vanilla Custard. Until I found this one.

For me the balance between sweet, buttery/creamy, custard and nutty is sublime. Not too sweet, not too nutty, just enough custard.

Butter Pecan Custard
CAP Vanilla Custard V1 5 % (38.36 %)
FW Butter Pecan 4 % (30.77 %)
CAP Sweet Cream 2 % (15.38 %)
CAP Butter Cream 2 % (15.38 %)

Total flavour: 13 %
 
Maybe some FA Joy...?

Or perhaps TFA Bavarian Cream? From Wayne's notes on his Fried Ice Cream recipe:

TFA Bavarian Cream: This flavoring is the secret weapon. We need it to "fry" the entire mix and add that almost carmelized cereal note, something that Cereal Crunch just doesn't have by itself. By "frying" this entire mix we start to really hone in that delicious crispy "batter" note that is in the IRL version. 1% is all that is needed to do that, while not giving too much of it's actual flavor to the mix.

Just when I ordered some stash last night...no Butter Pecan :(

Thanks Andre, that sounds great! Will be adding these ingredients to my next cart.
 
Has anyone got a recipe for koeksisters, the fat dough ones with the coconut on the outside?

TFA frosted donut will get you half way there, as others have said some joy.
At a guess I reckon something like this:
3% TFA Frosted Donut
2% Cap Glazed Donut
1% FA Joy
1% Cap Golden Butter or VC V1 - enhance oily butteriness
1% TFA Marshmallow - add sweetness and mouth feel
0.5% FW Rice crunchies/0.2-0.3% INW biscuit - to create toasted effect of coconut
?% ? Coconut of your choice(never used coconut so can't comment here)

Edit: 0.2% FA Catalan cream - to add some spicy notes but without dominating anything

definitely gonna give this a try, just need to grab the two or three concentrates i dont have,

if anyone has all the above will you try it out and let us know?
 
As we have 2 types of Koeksisters locally, lets see if we can perhaps come up with something for both versions?

"Koeksisters (or Koeksusters) come in two cultural flavours. The Afrikaner Koeksister and the traditional Cape Malay Koeksuster that is slightly thicker and softer, rolled in coconut and a bit spicy."

The base ingredients for the Afrikaner Koeksister is a bit "bleh" but it is off course delicious when eaten. The best yardstick I can think of is probably the Woolworths Koeksisiters...

Any takers?

There is no substitute for the real thing :--P

The problem is - truth be told - is that I am a Banter - a strict one at that - and have been Banting for just on 4 and a half years now.
My ONLY indulgence is vaping as I can get all the dessert type vapes without eating them...!!!
So, to nail a Koeksister Vape will be by Nirvana!!!!
 
Guys, do you realise this could be interesting challenge...either like this re-create a juice of a food or have a base juice and you are given a set of flavours to spruce it up (Masterchef style)..@Silver what you think?

Challenge accepted!

Just waiting on my order of FA Joy to arrive then I'll take a stab at this.
