MUST Have Creams List

[AngeNZ]

I'm relatively new to mixing, and only just now can I taste various notes in mixes.

My fave creams:

CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream - very close to TFA but with a vanilla tint. Thick, rich, whipped cream

TFA Vanilla Swirl - Soft Serve richness

Subs are pretty easy if you read flavor notes and compare percentages used. I watch noted at work and take notes, easy to pause and go back to. Sometimes when I can't sleep I compare written reviews of similar flavors I come across reading recipes. That's why I have over 400 recipes and almost as many favorites on elr.

So many recipes, such little time to vape them all

That's how I feel about many things.

Now, that I've got a cr@p ton of bottles and my husband should be back to work this weekend (seriously, he is up my .... about every 10 minutes ), I can add that CC Devon Cream to your growing list.

@Fidola13 my favorite is FLV Cream. Yummy creamy awesomeness. Brings a wonderful full mouthfeel to the party too. A small amount will influence almost any recipe. Use sparingly because if taken too far it will overpower any recipe. As with most Flavorah flavors a little goes a looong way.
YMMV

INW Vanilla Cream is really good too. Smooth and tasty.

I'm not alone! I do this too...other night I had a rather nasty dream that I thankfully woke myself up during and had to get up - where to, DIY info gathering. Maybe some night our paths will cross!

Been watching these here recently on those nights, I like CR reviews.

Oh yeah, one more that's really good is FW Bavarian Cream. Nice and creamy with a thick mouthfeel. I don't find it to be one of the more sweeter creams yet it does bring sweetness.

Wow, now I know I am tired cause I keep making spelling mistakes and normally would have listed all my favs in 1 post. Good nite folks. The noggin' needs sleep...now.

That seems to a favorite so far from everyone. I’ve got in my cart and ready to roll as soon as the Memorial Day sale arrives which I hope is soon lol!

Thanks for your help!!

Edit: I’m so out of it sometimes. I actually have this flavor in my stash

Thanks for that...my brain was too fried last night to put that together and when I saw your post this morning I was like "oh yeah, duh". I have CR in my DIY YT bookmarks.

And folks + @Fidola13 that brings me to some other creams I enjoy...

FLV Whipped Cream - thick body, smooth cream, IMO not overly sweet. Works well with most. Strong. Most times I use this to thicken a recipe as in small amounts (1 drop per 10ml or less) in a supportive role so you don't even notice its there and IMO that works really well (same for FLV Cream). It will quickly overpower/dominate a recipe if too much is used unless one desires a forward whipped cream in the mix.

FA Fresh Cream - this one has been mentioned in previous posts but I would add it's a good cream where if you have other 'sweet' going on in a recipe and are not looking to add additional sweetness.

FA Vienna Cream - been mentioned a few times already; it is very versatile, on it's own I find it to be bland but the real magic happens when it's mixed with other flavors; like many creams it is a good sweetener for recipes. I like this one a lot.

Oh that’s right I wanted the Whipped Cream. I heard someone else say it was great too. Thanks

I love most creams except TPA Sweet Cream because find it quiet cheesy,what do you guys think is the best Sweet Cream out there without that horrible cheese element?

Hi Lucas!

I like FLV Sweet Cream and I don't taste or get 'cheesy' from it. I've only used it as a support/background note in recipes and for me a dash or two works nicely. If you get some start low (like 1drop/10ml) and build up to taste from there. IMO starting low with any flavor is good practice. The Flavorah flavors are highly concentrated and if used to high they will trash a recipe.

Truthfully I can't answer "best of" with any flavor because taste is highly subjective for each of us. What I like best another may not and vice versa. Also from my experience every family has that one kid who was born with the super fussy gene - and ta-da - I was that kid. I'm fussy with flavors and food and yeah...I am quirky. LOL

What are the most popular flavors (creams and the like) may be the better question IMO and there are sites listing those. ELR comes to mind.

Hope that helps.

To me yes, nice plain cream with some body and not sweet.
Forgot to mention if I'm not wanting to taste cream I particularly like Purilum meringue, no eggy notes, beautiful body and mouthfeel, nice light sweetness.

Cream Fresh is a versatile cream which doesn't seem to need a lot of steeping so its a good choice when you want to add a bit of creaminess to a fruit mix or similar

CAP is my go to. I haven't tried many others though just that was the advice given when I first started the DIY.
