Smooth Creamy Almond

Squonk · Jan 8, 2016

This has a terrific smooth mouth feel and I just can't seem to put it down and want to mix up a 50 gallon drum of this stuff. These are flavors that are meant to be together. This is good to go after 7-10 days with daily shaking. Enjoy.
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream(CAP) 5%
Marzipan(FA) 2%
Almond(FA) .5%
Fresh Cream(FA) 1%
(I mix 30pg/70vg-2mg)

Definitely give this one a try Huck. I tried it in my Billow V2 and it was good. Then I loaded up my Crius and WOW! Mouth feel city Daddy-O.

Huckleberried · Jan 8, 2016

Well hell, buddy, maybe I'll just go mix it real quick so it'll be ready sooner. I'll keep ya posted.

Huckleberried · Jan 8, 2016

That was quick. You mix by weight, don't you?

I do! But, when I make a sample, I cheat and do drops/ml. I usually make a 5 or 6ml sample, then bring out the scale for big mixin' day.

Huckleberried · Jan 8, 2016

Oh, and i keep a ready made base for mixing on the fly!

gopher_byrd · Jan 8, 2016

Tomorrow will be a mixing day, this one is added to the list. It should be ready when I get back from next weeks business trip to Florida. It's looking like a 4 oz. VBIC will be on my next flavor order. Thanks for the recipe Squonk!

Doral is way south of me. Let me know if your travels bring you north a bit. Maybe we could meet up for a casual lunch. I'm near the Boca/ Delray Beach line about 70 miles north of Doral and east of I-95.

Oh holy moly! I used TFA, not noticing... I betcha all I taste is the VBIC. I wonder if it's stronger? Guess I'll find out in a couple days.

I only have CAPs. I also use 2% FA Vienna and 1% Fresh Cream for my ice cream base, but I'm really loving CAPs VBIC and will get more.

Oopsie Daisy. Let me know what happens. I used FA Fresh Cream to mellow out CAPs VBIC.

TFA vbic is good, I just think Caps is creamier and richer. More like melted ice cream.

Is that what I made? I heard Blue Moon tasted fruity pebbleish.

Not in my opinion friend, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moon_(ice_cream). Although the blue moon I've had is far more sweet than fruity

It says froot loopy and marshmallowy. Anyway......

It's sickening sweet bro, like downing a bottle of Karo, imo. I wish I could try this one but of course no VBIC, Cap or TFA, how it goes... :/ looks delicious though.

It may not be exact but it should be a good base to work with anyway.
I've read that some get an almond taste from it.
The blue color seems to trick the brain into thinking fruits like blueberry, etc., supposedly.
Everybody seems to taste different things in it tho.
Funny I've never tried it myself, well maybe when I was a kid and just can't remember it

.
(But it's not surprising that you like it so much)

On my list to try anyway, thanks...

The real(true) Blue Moon Ice Cream recipe is still a closely held secret...

Who says which is the real one? Lol. I'm from pa it's around my area. What I've tried it's just sickening sweet to me.

I think that's why it's so hard to get an authentic tasting Butterscotch, Caramel, Ice Cream, etc.
Getting some of the flavor but not the same sweetness as when eating it.
They're missing the "sugar" part, and the artificial sweeteners just don't cut it IMO.

The history shows the original was made either in Mich, Minn, or Wisc., dated back to the 1930's I think.
Been awhile since I've read about it.
Typical controversy as to who made the original first, and which one is the original, or best.

Yup that about sums it up as far as the history of it goes.

Heabob · Jan 9, 2016

@Squonk oops, sorry to jack your thread man.

BTW I'm using these same flavors in a Superman recipe I've been working on

.
Another controversy...

I see no jacking going on here. You can call it Super HB.

This helped make up my mind to go ahead and put that on a list. Thank you.

Heabob · Jan 9, 2016

5% TFA VBIC can get a little help by adding 1% TFA French Vanilla Deluxe + 1% TFA Dairy Milk IMO.
But CAP still wins me thinks...

Huckleberried · Jan 9, 2016

Good idea, then I realized I PIF'd my FVD. I think I have the Dairy Milk, though.

Right as rain.....and hope you're the same.

I don't use vbic so I always have to sub for that. I will try this. Of course , it won't taste like yours.

Try subbing VBIC with 2% FA Vienna Cream and possibly adding .5% FA Vanilla Classic. If you want it sweeter you can probably sub out FA Fresh Cream with CAPs Sweet cream @ 1-2%. I'm not sure how it will turn out, but that's what I would try.

Huckleberried · Jan 10, 2016

I think that would work! Or even 0.5 of caramel

I normally use tfa french vanilla and tfa vanilla swirl. I don't know where I got that. I just figured that would be a more ice creamy sub.

Give it a shot. It's been along time since I've used Vanilla swirl. I can't remember what it taste like.
