Random DIY mixing and More

[vaper1960]

I mixed S'mores, my PG banana pudding and something new... croissant, sesame and caramel. The sesame tastes similar to peanut so after I try that might add some berry or acai for a sort of PBJ sandwich. My cheesecake (with graham and mascarpone cheese) has only steeped for three weeks. I can't wait... vaping it tonight with my new boysenberry.

I did a quick mix yesterday with my ssa ice cream base and added 3% baked strawberry. Either it was too much or it needs a steep. It seems harsh like there’s alcohol in it or something.

I only used 1% baked strawberry with mine.

I just remembered I'd made a Banana Nut Bread 10mL sample last October, using TFA Banana. I need to try the same recipe with the WF Banana Puree instead, since it tastes more like real bananas, to me. I didn't have it then.

It's the 1st recipe I've come up with that convinced me that steeping can make a difference with some recipes. I didn't like it much when first made, but after 3 weeks or so...to me, it was much better. As always, other people's tastes will vary and so will the % used most likely. Below is what "worked" for me, and I hope still will...with the WF BP instead, giving me more real banana taste in it.

TFA Banana Nut Bread - 6%
WF Banana Puree - 2%
TFA Butter - 1%
TFA Vanilla Swirl - 2%
TFA Sweetener - 0.3% (optional of course)

Just a suggestion... back off a bit on the BNB, drop the butter and sub WF croissant (if you have it)

Why would I make those changes in my recipe...when I posted the following about it...the way it was? Your suggestions might be good ones if/when you decide to try it though.

I was trying to figure out the purpose of croissant.

I've been meaning to find some use for TFA Banana Nut Bread. I might mix this up, minus the TFA Butter. Thanks for posting it. And yes, Banana Puree is a really good flavor.

I only used 1% baked strawberry with mine.

I probably used too much then.

I was tempted to get that one for a minute but nope, I have a ton of strawberries now.

I don’t know how this happens. I put one banana on my wishlist and three more jumped on after.

Funny, that always seems to happen to me too.

Glad to here that. I need to leave this weird stuff alone.

You're welcome.

I made my recipe at first with just TFA BNB, TFA Banana, and Sweetener while doing a 100 Drop Taste test. It was missing something in the taste, when compared to real, baked, banana nut bread though. So I checked many other recipes online and noticed that TFA Butter was used in quite a few, and surprisingly TFA Vanilla Swirl was used in several, too. Once I added those 2, it finally had the taste I was looking for. So, I just stuck with it.

I know some people don't like to use TFA Butter though, because it's one of the flavorings with trace amounts of Acetoin & Acetylpropionyl in it. Usually I try to avoid them or use the TFA DX or CAP V2 versions of flavorings when they're available. In this recipe though, for me it was worth the difference it made in the taste, to go ahead and use the small amount of it. So far, it's the only recipe I've used it in.

If I decide to get the extra banana flavor I might mix it too. I already have the butter.

If you decide to get the WF Banana Puree...I think you'll like it as far as it not being candy-like, but definitely realistic. If it had been around a few years ago and I'd tried it, I know I wouldn't have bought several of the other banana flavorings that I have now.

I think I misunderstood (I thought that was a recipe you had just made up)
About the croissant... to me it has a very buttery note (but others like Fran don't get that flavor from it) I have also had (in real life) banana bread that was actual (yeast based) bread as opposed to "cake" style most people think of. I guess that's what gave me the idea. Your recipe actually sounds great (I really like the vanilla swirl part)

It’s on my wishlist.

It's definitely one I will mix a bigger bottle of next time. I never would have thought cantaloupe and bakery would go well together, but it did.

I've had a hard time finding fruity juices I like. But, almost all the melons I've mixed I've liked. Including melon and tobacco, thanks to @Bronze.

I'm not skipping the TFA Butter because of Acetoin or anything, it's just that I don't have it. I don't have any butter flavors. Well I have WF Cookie Butter, but I'm not really sure that counts as butter.
