Help with vanilla wafer recipe!

[dizzy2908]

Hey all! I'm new to the forum and new to DIY. I am trying to create a vanilla wafer and milk flavor. I've seen a lot of banana pudding recipes with vanilla wafers, but nothing for vanilla wafers and milk or vanilla wafers alone. I tried this recipe:

FA Cookie 4%
TFA Vanilla bean ice cream 4%
FA Cream fresh 1%
Vanillin .5%

While there is a slight flavor of vanilla wafer in the exhale, nothing seems prominent and it seems like a jumbled mess. Steeped 10 days. Any suggestions with these flavors or other flavors completely?

Cap sugar cookie and iwn biscuit would probably help make the wafer. Maybe a little cap vanilla custard

Just my personal opinion, but I find the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream to be too heavy a flavoring for a light vanilla. I really like FA Vanilla Classic for a simple vanilla, many seem to like the INW Shisha Vanilla, too. That's just based on my own taste and preference.

I was about to suggest the same thing, Huck. I was also wondering if TFA Dairy Milk might help add to the milky flavor he seems to be missing.

Thanks! I was worried that a custard would give too much of the pudding and not so much milky. I'll have to give it a try.

I may have to order that. I figured I could mix some creams and get the dairy effect. I haven't tried the vanilla bean ice cream as a stand alone, I know, rookie mistake, but I figured I could knock out two with one with that.

I was thinking 1% custard.

Do you think I need the vanillin if I use vanilla classic or vanilla custard to cover the whole mix, or will the vanilla stand out enough using those?

I'm sure you get more good suggestions. Maybe @Heabob will chime in on this.

Inw vanilla would also be nice. It gives a very nice vanilla bakery note.

I really don't think you'd need the vanillin, but nothing at all wrong with using it. Personally, I think Vanilla Classic does wonderfully, but it happens to be my fave vanilla. I haven't compared it side by side with the Shisha Vanilla, both are good. I should do that, LOL.

I got a bottle of Shisha Vanilla a few weeks ago but haven't tried it yet. I've heard it's a very creamy vanilla and kinda mild.

Maybe replace the vanilla bean with 2% cap/tfa vanilla custard and 4% vanilla bourbon and skip the vanillin.
Don't have FA cookie but 4% sounds like too much.

I agree, that's at the high end for an FA flavoring. I'd be using about half that if I made it.

Try INW Biscuit. it has a lighter buttery flavor, or lower FA cookie to 1-1.5%+ 2% FA Fresh Cream+ 1-1.5% INW or FA Vanilla Bourbon or Classic. I have a decent sugar cookie mix if it helps any. I always keep some mixed up.

Great as a stand alone @ 2- 2.25%. It will definitely get your wheels turning.

Sugar Cookie and Snickerdoodles are on the list to make.

I got 50mls of sugar cookie steeping as we speak.

 

[Heabob]

Think I'd try it with 1% INW Biscuit or 3% CAP Sugar Cookie v1 myself.
And either 2% INW Shisha Vanilla or INW Vanilla Bourbon, or a mixture of both.
3-4% TFA Vanilla Swirl may be another idea.

Don't think I'd use TFA Dairy Milk, or any Creams, unless you want it more "milky"

Probably gonna take a bit of fiddling tho.
