Chocolate Swirl Greek Cheesecake
FA Cheesecake Olympus 2.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.25%
FW White Cake 2.5%
FA Graham Crust 1.5%
WF Crumble Topping 1%
VTA Dark Chocolate 1.25%
Usually, the flavor profile of cheesecakes lies in between sweet and sour. Some New York cheesecakes use sour cream in the recipe. This adds an extra sour flavor to the pastry. I did not want that sour note in mine.
For my recipe I wanted a cheesecake that came closest to a sweeter tasting Greek cheesecake. I wanted the cheesecake note to be more mellow and milder. That's where FA Cheesecake Olympus comes into play. I had a conversation with Flavour Art Italy and learned the cheese note in FA CO closely resembles that of a Greek glykia myzithra (sweet myzithra). Myzithra cheese is rich with a silky creaminess and a fairly light tangy note.
I am very impressed with FA Cheesecake Olympus. It's an excellent cheesecake flavor with no off notes. I felt it needed to be paired with another cream. WF VCE was the perfect choice. Together they make a pleasing cheesecake. WF VCE adds a vanilla note found in a classic Greek cheesecake.
FW White Cake adds a slight cakey texture to my cheesecake. FA Graham Crust combined with WF Crumble Topping make a wonderful crust.
For the chocolate swirl I chose VTA Dark Chocolate. I wanted a light tasting chocolate swirl, one that would not change my cheesecake into an all out chocolate cheesecake. 1.25% VTA DC worked perfectly for the swirl. WF VCE helps in making the chocolate note something less than a straight-up dark chocolate.
When vaping this mix the creamy cheesecake is out front followed by the cakey crust. The chocolate swirl is experienced on the backside. It's tasty.
A fruit (or two) could be added to the recipe without mucking up the mix. A blueberry, raspberry or strawberry. Or even tropical fruits... like a banana, kiwi, mango, orange, pineapple etc. I would suggest going with a light touch percentage-wise. Doing so will leave the cheesecake as intended without drowning it out.
Any of the above fruits will work nicely with chocolate. Drop VTA Dark Chocolate for a blank cheesecake canvas with which to add other desired flavors.

I hit my six flavor hard cap limit the other day and it just so happens that these are the exact flavors I have!
Thank you for sharing, SMT!!
and like...... Good morning EveryOne 
Ummm, I forgot to give credit to my youngest daughter re the cheesecake recipe (fixed my post!). It was another fun collaboration and one she took the lead on. I've suggested she signup on ECF (for the millionth time) and post some of her recipes. She doesn't "do" forums. Yet, she surfs ECF.
Snow??? Yep, we have snow. We've had snow for a quite a while. This last storm dropped about 9+ inches. Yesterday we were out cruising around on the snowmobiles.
Plan on mixing a couple new bakery bases today. I wrote up the recipes last night. Might tweak one, not sure yet.

Welcome to random.
Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
FA Cheesecake Olympus 2.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.25%
FW White Cake 2%
FA Graham Crust 1.5%
VTA Dark Chocolate 1.5%
VTA Macadamia Nut 2%
This one is a variation of the cheesecake recipe I posted earlier. It's also another collaboration with my daughter.
Same notes from that post apply to FA Cheesecake Olympus and WF Vanilla Cream Extra.
For this one we decided on cheesecake bars with a nutty note. VTA Macadamia Nut fit the bill. It lends a nice mellow macadamia note to the mix. VTA MN is not a strong in-your-face nut. Knowing that I wasn't hesitant to use it at 2%. It adds a pleasing nutty note but not one that screams "NUTS".
We bumped the dark chocolate up to 1.5% for more of that semi-sweet chocolate chip flavor. The dark chocolate could be pushed to 2%. Alternatively, another VTA chocolate flavor would work up to 2%.
FW White Cake and FA Graham Crust create the overall thicker crust cheesecake bars are noted for.
Adding a fruit ---> the same notes apply from our other cheesecake recipe.

Morning all, the wife said she wanted to get up and go to a rescue puppy event but we'd need to leave soon and she's not up. Guess we're not going to make it. Looking forward to watching football today.
I never bought the cheesecake Olympus flavor. I didn’t figure I needed yet another cheesecake flavor.
I was just thinking that I haven’t bought a new pv in ages. I don’t count the Sceptres. If it wasen’t for hittman I wouldn’t have anything new.
I still enjoy treating myself to the occasional mod and/or RBA. Haven't bought anything since this last October.
The last pv I bought is actually a preorder on the Meson AIO. I haven’t gotten it yet. The last one I received was the SX mini Vi class.
I'm actually going to need some of those Aspire 2x coils for my brunhilde. I have tons of the regular coils but they won't work. Is there any good place to buy some?
