Random DIY mixing and More

Does anyone have PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake?

If so, what can you tell me about it?

Is the toasted coconut fairly accurate?

Is the toasted coconut strong and up front?

Is the cheesecake out front and how cheesy is it?

Is the cheesecake more of a cream?


I'm looking to make something that has toasted coconut. PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake seems to be the only toasted coconut flavor I could find. Amoretti has a toasted coconut but I really don't want to spend that kind of money on an unknown.

Thanks

I have it, I wanted to love it...I mean it's ok don't get me wrong but meh...it's almost a burnt taste to it that just throws it all off...I mix it half and half with fw coconut cream pie sometimes and I've used it in some other things but that brunt type flavor just ruins everything

maybe if I had let it steep.....but meh

I think I got that sesame candy on a sale at Gremberry. I don’t think I’ve ever tried it.

I think you did, too. I was considering it at the same time.

Is she known as the Citrus Junkie? And perhaps lives one state east of you?

If so then I know exactly who it is just from the types of flavors you wrote.

I'm still behind, in case you revealed who it is already...

With a name that begins with the letter l?

But, in real life things taste like what they are. There aren’t a hundred different variations, some that don’t taste like what their name proclaims. I wish mixing as easy as cooking. Certainly give me fewer headaches lol

You would be the Queen of DIY then and likely filthy rich. You wouldn't be having this conversation with a schmuck like me on a forum either.

Ok then, let's stay with 20,000 flavor variations. Wait, you mean Cinnamon Caramel Pepper Yogurt Ice Cream actually tastes like pineapple/apple/mango cheesecake and onions?

The grains are soaked with water, allowed to almost sprout...

And then roasted. A key component in whisky, too.

This looks tasty, but I don't have WF Frozen Yogurt. Could I just use 5% FW Yogurt, do you think?

I will also add cardamom, since to me it ain't lassi without it.

I think that would be ok but I’d raise the fresh cream to 1%.

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

And steeps out to chocolate covered donkey tails sprinkled in sage??? …. Oh wait, that was a tea flavor. Let me consult my notes

Lowercase ells are ambiguous.

Stella Parks, who used to be the dessert queen on Serious Eats, uses malt in a lot of her recipes. You can read what she has to say about it here.

That's a good read. Thank you.

The Stella Park article makes me think these might be useful as additives after all.

Don't know much about a "lassi" but I do love cardamom IRL.

 

[vaper1960]

I'll share the title with you then. Cuz I am nutz.

That is scary ironic because I was going to add that I spell it "nutz"

I want the Chocolate Covered Donkey Tails Sprinkled In Sage flavor. I'm thinking it would work well with FW Monkey Fart.

Geez, I’ll share some MF if you really want some

I'm good with MF's.

Wait, why would I want any of yours? I must have missed something in translation, again. I'm good at that.

And then roasted. A key component in whisky, too.

Only in darker beers. And Guinness Stout adds roasted UNMALTED barley for an almost coffee like flavor (told you I have done my homework on beers) For roasted malted barley they have names like "crystal malt", "caramel malt", "chocolate malt" and "black malt". And then there are "smoked" variations...

Thank you. I added it to my cart. Seeing as it's the only toasted coconut for a reasonable price. If it just needs a decent steep I can deal with that.

I just found this... https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/6dkqb8/purilum_toasted_coconut_cheesecake/

Very good dessert flavor. Sweetened toasted coconut is strong and up front, and it's very authentic. Below that I'm getting a sweet pudding like cream, with hints of vanilla and faint graham crust? Not much mouth feel or density as of yet. It is also missing any resemblance to cheesecake at this point. It is more of a coconut cream pie. Missing any cream cheese tanginess right now. I'm enjoying it immensely, and hoping the cream will pop with a longer steep.

At 4 weeks, this has developed into a nice dense thickness similar to a cheesecake. I'm still not getting any cream cheese though. It's a delicious coconut cream pie, with thick sweet vanilla and coconut pudding and a buttery graham crust. Topped with sweet toasted coconut flakes, and I am amazed at how accurately they hit the toasted flavor.

I’ve had TFA Malted Milk for ages. It actually has a use?
