It's interesting that he originally tried almond and it failed, then tried hazelnut and it just worked (very small %) Not enough to be a actual flavor in the recipe, but just enough to add a "quality" to the strawberry. I used to wonder why some people would put a very small % of something in a recipe (does it really matter) and now I've found it can (like vanilla custard... was just too much for me, but at very small amounts... a little goes a long way)

I look at it as giving the flavour body (for lack of better terminology). A single strawberry flavour could taste like strawberry, but lacks that body, nuances, or subtle flavour notes. Mixing in a another flavour at small percentages can just add those missing notes. Like adding a touch of mango to peach. Or even a touch of sweetener. You’ll see Dragon Fruit used a lot in this manor as well.

Exactly. I actually do add Mango to Peach, and yes, Dragonfruit is like this universal thing to add to fruits (that reminds me... I'm all out, need to order some more) I tend to avoid sweetener, but will admit some fruits need just a bit.

Dragon fruit is more an emulsifier to meld the flavors into one imo. It does very well with strawberry and orange flavors. Also a good enhancer for hibiscus.

@dennism , it depends on if you want lots of graham crust (or you can add that yourself)
These are supposed to be the best ones (I just got PUR NY cheesecake myself from River Supply)
(CAP) New York cheesecake

(PUR) cheesecake

(PUR) NY cheesecake

(INW) Yes we cheesecake
It has to steep so will awhile before I can try it.

Sure, unless you want to be lazy like me, there are a ton of crème brulee flavors. I don't know how to make it IRL so I for SURE do not know how to mix up a lovely crème brulee.

Target makes a pretty awesome premade one. Tomorrow, I will be near a Target... And a Starbucks.

I swear I live in the last city on earth to NOT have a Starbucks.

There are many, many inhabitants who are deeply saddened by this. Usually I'm okay but occasionally I crave some burnt, super caffeine. Maybe tomorrow..... I will be driving and that's always perilous. I hope they don't dilate my eyes, I will have to tell them I am driving an hour back. I guess I could take the husband but he's been behaving like a rabid dog, man. He's out back, smoking dope and I am a) jealous and I could totally SMOKE some and it wouldn't show up in my pee by Monday (proud owner of like a jillion pee tests, due to having to figure out how much FMLA to take like, after oral surgery and the MJ detox. I am a rapid metabolizer.

But, if it doesn't improve his disposition I AM smoking some I don't even care. I feel like a cruddy sole of a shoe who has been inhabited by an ADHD child for like a year.
