(FA) Zeppola

made on Fresh03 Live Vape Rye benefit stream...cross your fingers but its good off the shake for me.. after a few days steep it needs sweetener of your choice for sure..id start at .5%

Pretty simple premise.

@ID10-T charged us with making a recipe that recalls a memory of a past Autumn. I have been working in kitchens for most of my life, and I love to play around with food. Last Autumn I made a bread pudding for work that included a whiskey flambeed green apple compote. I loved this dessert when I made it, and may yet make it again ahead of Thanksgiving.

Anyhow, this is my attempt at recreating this in an eliquid.

FE french toast and FA zeppola make up the bulk of the "bread" in my bread pudding. Conveniently the French toast brings along some extra spices, sweetness, and eggs.

FLV eggnog is helping in two ways, it is broadening the custard, but it is more importantly doubling down on the spices needed to sell the Autumnal bread pudding.

INW custard has one job here, and it's really straight forward, make sure the body of the custard is rich enough to stand up to the bread, apples, and whiskey.

FW hazelnut is just helping normalize the bready notes

PUR country apple is cooked apples, and absolutely necessary here. It has the sweetness you'd look for along with the "cooked" apples rather than something like FA Fuji which tastes much more "raw".

TFA Kentucky bourbon carries the flavor I want and doesn't have the bite you'd get from FLV bourbon, which is perfect for this application. Cooking with booze, especially flambeed the flavor remains but none of the alcoholic bite.

I've only had time to give this a shake and vape test, so I'm gambling a bit here but if this stays close to the shake and vape flavor without falling apart it should be a nice easy Autumn vape.

Menu Description: Fritter dough with elderflower petals and a dash of Cordial, deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar.

3 time Mixer's Club submission!!!!!

Notes: So, elderflower fritters are actually a thing. I’ve never tried them, but they really are a thing! There are two ways to make them. In one you actually dip the flower heads in batter and fry them. In the other, the flowers are milled into a classic fritter dough, with some Cordial thrown in to bolster their flavor, and fried. Both are dusted with powdered sugar and served warm. I was envisioning the second type when I created this recipe. I’ve never eaten fried flower heads, but I can imagine what a dough with elderflower in it would taste like.

With that said, the recipe is pretty straight forward. The Deep Fried Pastry Dough and Zeppola make up the fritter dough. The Elderflower and Powdered Sugar make up the elderflower and powdered sugar! The Cream and the Marshmallow keep the mix from being dry and softens the sharpness of the elderflower into the sweetness of the dough.

This needs at least 5 days to develop. Off the shake it takes like hot metal! After a day or two it tastes like a powdered sugar donut with a little zest. By day 5 the elderflower starts to shine. The bakery notes take on a more fried dough characteristic, rather than just a donut. The powdered sugar tastes more like fresh powdered sugar versus the mass produced, sitting on a shelf for god knows how long, kind of powdered sugar you get on those donuts. It’s still a tad dry. I’m not sure if that will steep out or if the recipe needs some tweaks. I’m also not sure if this tastes anything like an elderflower fritter. But it’s interesting and different. I think it’s a profile worth exploring further with the help of MC.

Mixed at 70VG/30PG with Essential Depot mats.

A sweet Blueberry Donut that's pretty true to the name. I used 2 blueberries to bring them out and not let the zeppola overpower,and as always sweeten to taste.

Not sure how else to describe this except to say a sweet, delicious fig newton cookie

This is just something that dropped on me... I think it needs a lil improvement. (FLV Vanilla Pudding instead of the the VT pudding base) but it is getting to a banging stage of taste... It's not bad but probably could be improved... If not from me maybe from one of y'all... 😁

Ideas that are in the making... FA Premium Custard...

Basically I'm going for a Kronut filled with custard or a Kronut dipped in custard... What y'all got to say that mix it?

It's not bad it's just not there (GREAT)! TIA for mixing it up and any help into brining this into fruition... I Absolutely love thick fall vapes! Hit me up with your suggestions! 👊👊 Happy Friyay to y'all!

I'm still working on the danish part of this recipe, but the brie and cream cheese icing remind me of a store-bought cream cheese danish filling. The Vanilla Custard was an add in and works well but that isn't what really gives it that cream cheese flavor, I tested the brie and cream cheese icing because I didn't want to test brie on its own (yep weenie). The sugar cookie, biscuit, and zeppola taste okay, but it's not a danish yet so maybe someone can come up with a better solution than I did, and I'll keep trying too. The danish I'm after is more bready and less sweet.

just another one of my "hey i wanna make this profile" and not getting super close, but still ended up with something similar that tastes just as good if not better. not a clone. just a profile mimic. i like it better tbh.

anyways onto the notes.
INW Shisha Strawberry + JF Strawberry Sweet are the strawberry component
FA Red Summer + TFA Watermelon are the Watermelon Component
FA Zeppola + CAP Sugar Cookie + CAP Glazed Donut = Cupcake Component
LB VIC + CAP SS = attempt at something resembling icing

there. NOTES.

My take on Strawberry by The One

Raspberry (INW) and Sweet strawberry (Cap) was the combo closest to the OG for me.
Cereal 27 (CAP) and AP 5% (TPA) for the cereal.
Cream (FLV), Milk (FA) and Cream Milky Undertone (OoO) for a creamy milk.
Zeppola (FA) for the doughnut
New York Cheesecake (CAP) to create a bridge between the cereal and the milk.
Marshmallow (TPA) to blend it all.
Super Sweet to taste, I like mine sweet. However my coils tell me the OG liquid has a lot more sweetener in it.
It's pretty good after a good shake, I prefer mine after a couple days steep.
Don't let it sit for 6 months because I noticed the strawberry starts to fade after 3 months, but as I stated this combo was closest to the OG.

If you like Strawberry by The One you will definitely love this one as well.
Give it a try and enjoy!

This is a SWEET glazed doughnut, and let me stress the SWEET again. Zeppola, Biscuit, Joy, and Sugar Cookie work great as the base of this doughnut recipe. the Sweet Cream and Vanilla custard create the custard part of this. Cream Cheese Icing, and Rick's Sugar Daddy is the sweetener. Did I mention this is sweet? Great doughnut to vape while drinking a cup of black coffee. I vaped 120 mls of this fairly quickly after the steep, because it hit my craving for sweets. A quick warning to let this steep, not only for the creamy custard, but that Joy because it will taste like stale beer if you don't let that Joy steep, trust me on this.
