Mango Brulee
A delectable, rich and creamy creme brulee infused with fresh mango.

The 3-2-1 Creme Brulee has been my creamy custard stone for over a year now and it keeps on surprising me with its magnitude of uses. Here, I paired it with the 'in vogue' Mango by FE. This is nothing revolutionary, just the coming together of 2 things of beauty...

FE Mango continues to impress & I keep finding new uses for it. Here, it sits perfectly atop a luscious brulee, which allows it to shine by enhancing the inherent fruity creaminess of the mango. Feel free to drop the Creme Brulee to 1% for a less pronounced brulee

This is good to ago after 3 days, best after 6.

Blck is out of FE Mango. Judging by all your recent recipes, do you have anything to do with it @Rude Rudi ?
 
Apple Brulee
A decadent, rich and creamy Creme Brulee married with a sweet & fragrant apple pie filling.

This was inspired by the delicious apple combo used in Dunked Apples by @silky, which is, by far, the best apple combo for use in swweet, bakery and tobacco style recipes.

The bruleee base is sompliments of my, well used, 1-2-3 brulee stone which encapsulates a Creme Brulee perfectly in every sense. I have been using this base for a very long time and tend to never bore of it. I occasionally have it ‘straight’, without any additional flavouring, to remind me of its magnificence! Simply put, it is decadent vanilla custard crowned with caramlised sugar.

FA Fuji is the undisputed king of apples and here, it does all the heavy lifting on the apple front. Sweet, crispy and uber realistic, FA Fuji précis a Fuji apple uncannily. The INW apple brings a sweet apple juice type vibe to the party and boosts the Fuji’s sweetness to create a stunning apple combo.

FLV apple filling is a McDonalds apple pie in a bottle and serves its purpose very accurately. It provides a bakery cinnamon flavour with a wonderfully rich, baked apple sweetness. Do not venture any higher here as the cinnamon will dominate but not as aggressively as FLV Rich Cinnamon. Used sparingly, this will add a new dimension to your bakeries and perhaps tobacco?

Gives this baby 5 days or so to settle in.

Delightfully Turkish
Sticky, fragrant rose flavoured jelly cubes dredged with icing sugar.

Turkish Delight is a classic Middle Eastern sweet and dates back more than 230 years, making it one of the oldest sweet dishes in the world.
They are small, fragrant cubes of jelly, usually flavoured with rosewater, orange flower water or citrus fruits juice and heavily dusted with icing sugar. Some versions include roughy chopped pistachios to add texture and equalise the (sometimes overpowering) sweetness.

FLV Rose Essence is the star of the show here and is a phenomenal rose flavour. Unlike its competitors, this does not overpower everything it comes in contact with. This is a delicate infusion of natural rose frangrances with a delightful realistic & well rounded profile. The expected/inherent floral notes does not interfere and, when used correctly, brings a gentle rose bouquet to the table. It needed a slight boost and sweetness in the form of TPA Rose Candy to create the characteristic (sweet) Turkish Delight.

FLV Marshmallow Vanilla plays a number of rolls here. Firstly, it assist by creating body and given the jelly candy a more manageable texture. It furthermore adds a delicious vanilla note which blends perfectly with the rose. Lastly, it adds the first layer of icing sugar sugar dusting, followed by a generous dusting from OOO Powdered Sugar.

Cap Jelly Candy does here what it is supposed to...it creates a jelly, duh! I pushed it to 3% here as traditional Turkish delight is quite gelatinous.

FA pistachio breaks the menotiny of the Rose by introducing an alluring nuttiness and that familiar pistachio earthiness. DO NOT sub this with TPA Pistachio, you have been warned...

Give this baby 3 to 5 days to mingle.

Ooohh you've got a good memory @Silver! Thanks very much for drawing my attention to this recipe, as I don't follow the DIY threads. I'll make a note of this for when I start mixing.

Scrumptious peanut butter and coconut squares drizzled with velvety milk chocolate.

Peanut butter lovers, unite!!! If you like peanut butter, then this classic is for you. I set out to create a favorite childhood treat of peanut butter and coconut treats which we dipped in cooking chocolate, as upmarket chocolate was a scarce luxury in my neck of the woods. The OG includes chopped nuts but I decided to omit these as a true nut texture and flavor is virtually unachievable...

The TPA and FLV Peanut Butter combo works wonderfully well to create a very authentic, pukka peanut butter. Combined, this duo delivers a smooth, nutty and roasted (thanks to FLV) peanut butter with a dense & mysterious grainy mouth feel. The slight saltiness which FLV brings adds to the "nut" element of the OG concept. A word of advice on the TPA PB - give it a good shake BEFORE mixing as it commonly separates when not in use for extended periods.

The coconut layer was a no-brainer...FA Coconut and FLV Coconut was born for this type of profile = dinkum, lightly sweetened , desiccated coconut. No more , no less. No mess, no fuss.

I opted for the magnificence of HS Chocolate cream and the resulting masterpiece which is Mayan Milk. It effortlessly checks all the boxes for a world class chocolate and requires virtually no assistance to shine, as it does that naturally.

The butter does what it is designed to do and adds a bit of buttery goodness to the mix whilst the marshmallow helps stick all the bits together and add a bit of body and sweetness.

Give this baby 7 days or so...

Oh my word, this looks good @Rude Rudi
I do love peanut butter so this does appeal to me even though Im not a major dessert type of vaper.
Wow
Wish I could try this out - but will have to order... lets see... about 7 concentrates, Lol. Maybe I have FA Marshmallow somewhere, so then its 6. At least I'm 1/7th of the way.... hehe

I am not a big lover of caramel juices. With some exceptions - e.g. VM4 Oak Aged Special Reserve. This one, however, has bowled me over.

Adapted, to prevent too much (cloying for me) sweet, from recipe. If you like more sweet, follow the original recipe.

The touch of salt, there on the taste - but just, makes it special. The creams make it soft and chewy.

Salted Creamy Caramel
FW Salted Caramel 5 %
CAP Sweet Cream 2 % (the original uses TFA Sweet Cream)
FA Fresh Cream 1 % (in place of FA Vienna Cream in the original)



Hey
Was wondering what is the steep time on this?
looks really Good might be my first attempt at DIY
 
Alas, it’s not here yet. I’m sure Blck will have it here soon! No subs on it unfortunately...
@Bulldog , ;) not feeling so bad now, and here I though I would have to have my eyes tested again! Now the secret is out, @Richio :aplastao: full page announcement when it arrives please, this little decadent secret by @Rude Rudi 8--) has been driving me up the wall. It HAS to be mixed to test.

Was my Dads favourite treat, I usually ended up with only the white ones, but he always left one Rose one for me for the next day. Sometimes the small things that bring back memories of those moments that are no more.:D
 
Pop my Cherry

A popping cherry lollipop popper!

This is a morish cherry Popsicle sure to turn your lips red!

MB Red cherry is a fantastic new(ish) entrant in the cherry category and is set to upset some of the big players. Most of the cherry options are bleh and Molinberry has manged to create a winner here! This is a juicy, sweetened, red cherry, minus the medicinal cough syrup vibe - enough said! This get truly better with time and develops a fantastic deep and juicy cherry after the 2 week mark. The Red Cherry is filled out with a touch of INW Cherries (NOT INW CHERRY!) to fill in the gaps and allows the full cherry to shine. A lick of FA Forest fruit completes the richness and body and keeps the cherry form being linear.

A smidgen of Fizzy Sherbet adding the fizzy, sour centre element.

Good after 3 days or so but better after 7 and even better after 14!

Thanks @Rude Rudi
Sounds super

Side question - would you rate Molinberry concentrates quite highly in general against the competitors?

Mmmm...tough one... They have a few stars being Glamour Chocolate, American Bubblegum, Funky Pineapple and Red Cherry but the rest, for me, are not really up to scratch (yet). The new cookie bite is not bad either. We are actually reviewing the full range ATM and providing feedback to MB directly in an effort to improve the offers to suit all markets as they are hugely popular in some and less so in others. They have the will to improve, which is fantastic!
They will get there...

Great to hear you are in touch with them and helping them. Wow!
You guys rock
 
Forest Panna Cotta

An uber creamy panna cotta drenched in a vibrant forrest fruit coulis.

This is a delectable Panna cotta, with added zing, demonstrating the simplicity of creating an simple, yet complex tasting juice using 3 or 4 quality ingredients. The yoghurt isn’t entirely necessary but it adds an additional layer of complexity to take the base from good to magnificent...

MB Panna Cotta is described as a “Creamy and soft panna cotta dessert with soft cream and hint of raspberry and a touch of vanilla” which perfectly surmises this gem. I picked up an unexpected nutty/malty note which keeps this from being flat but may take some by surprise. Although the malty note is not unpleasant, it may not fit into delicate recipes where a true, plain panna cotta is the desired profile. In this recipe however, it adds depth and marries beautifully with the dark & earthy berry layer.

I added a smidgen of FW Yoghurt to cut through the creaminess and add a bit of ‘zing’ to the Panna cotta base. This can be omitted if you prefer a fuller, creamier vape but I believe the two compliments one another perfectly.

The fruit layer is not a new revelation, but this combo just works so stunningly, that it was the obvious choice as the crowning jewel to adorn our lionheart.
The hint of raspberry in the panna cotta is just enough to compliment the fruit combo and sits nicely in the background.

WS23 optional at 0.25% to emulate a cold version, and works a treat here.

3% (FA) Forrest Mix (forest Fruit Mix)

Mango Panna Cotta
A luscious & velvety Panna Cotta mizzled with fresh mango.

I set out to create a true Italian Panna Cotta (Italian for "cooked cream") = an Italian dessert of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin.
The (not so) obvious choice here is JF Bavarian Cream which outperforms TFA in this application (by far). Soft, rich, uber creamy with just the right amount of vanilla is the perfect bed to receive the sweet & abundant mango blessing. TPA Sweet cream lifts the Bavarian cream by boosting the creaminess with finesse. CAP Sweet Cream can simply not compete in this race and unceremoniously dethroned

Holy Vanilla, used relatively high, adds the ultimate vanilla flavor here and provides a delicate sweetness & creaminess to the Panna Cotta.

FE Mango has been my favorite mango this year and shows its full colors here. Full, juicy & ripe mango goodness... I have encountered NO evidence of the 'myth' of the fading FE Mango and not sure who started this nonsense. I have a reference SF test batch dating back to January and it has shown negligible fading. The flavor is (still) on point and, even after 5 months, still (far) better than any of its rivals.

A touch of Papaya adds a bit of intrigue and keeps the mango profile from being linear and, vitally, assists with balancing the sweetness.

As creams go, this baby needs a good 7 days to fully develop.

2.5% (DFS) Holy Vanilla
3.5%(FE) Mango
