My cart is ready to go! Just need to break it to the wife that I'm doing a middle of the month order

Has anyone got a recipe for koeksisters, the fat dough ones with the coconut on the outside?
I'd be keen to try that recipe if anyone has it
Ja for sure...profile is easy...some sort of batter, sugary feel and coconut...the problem is trying to get that fried sensation (if thats how they made)
Been too long since I have had them
For me the balance between sweet, buttery/creamy, custard and nutty is sublime. Not too sweet, not too nutty, just enough custard.
Butter Pecan Custard
CAP Vanilla Custard V1 5 % (38.36 %)
FW Butter Pecan 4 % (30.77 %)
CAP Sweet Cream 2 % (15.38 %)
CAP Butter Cream 2 % (15.38 %)
Total flavour: 13 %
plan to tackle that next once I've mastered my banana custard & apple pie
Maybe some FA Joy...?
thanks @Huffapuff ...is that the one that gives that waxy feel ...sounds interesting...remember seeing it on the commentary to the funfetti recipe on diyordievaping
Just when I ordered some stash last night...no Butter PecanI got tired of all the Custard juices around - even the famous Grant's Vanilla Custard. Until I found this one.

If you have a female sibling with the same name then I would suggest 10% Nonna's cake.
Thanks Andre, that sounds great! Will be adding these ingredients to my next cart.I got tired of all the Custard juices around - even the famous Grant's Vanilla Custard. Until I found this one.

TFA frosted donut will get you half way there, as others have said some joy.
At a guess I reckon something like this:
3% TFA Frosted Donut
2% Cap Glazed Donut
1% FA Joy
1% Cap Golden Butter or VC V1 - enhance oily butteriness
1% TFA Marshmallow - add sweetness and mouth feel
0.5% FW Rice crunchies/0.2-0.3% INW biscuit - to create toasted effect of coconut
?% ? Coconut of your choice(never used coconut so can't comment here)
Edit: 0.2% FA Catalan cream - to add some spicy notes but without dominating anything

definitely gonna give this a try, just need to grab the two or three concentrates i dont have,
if anyone has all the above will you try it out and let us know?
As we have 2 types of Koeksisters locally, lets see if we can perhaps come up with something for both versions?
"Koeksisters (or Koeksusters) come in two cultural flavours. The Afrikaner Koeksister and the traditional Cape Malay Koeksuster that is slightly thicker and softer, rolled in coconut and a bit spicy."
The base ingredients for the Afrikaner Koeksister is a bit "bleh" but it is off course delicious when eaten. The best yardstick I can think of is probably the Woolworths Koeksisiters...
Any takers?

Guys, do you realise this could be interesting challenge...either like this re-create a juice of a food or have a base juice and you are given a set of flavours to spruce it up (Masterchef style)..@Silver what you think?
There is no substitute for the real thing

The problem is - truth be told - is that I am a Banter - a strict one at that - and have been Banting for just on 4 and a half years now.
My ONLY indulgence is vaping as I can get all the dessert type vapes without eating them...!!!
So, to nail a Koeksister Vape will be by Nirvana!!!!
This is the one I'm aiming for...for a Cape Town Sunday morning vape
