ELR September Mix-Along, Cereals

No it’s very different from Glamour Chocolate. It’s more of a cocoa bean/dark chocolate flavor. It’s best with creams to give it more of a syrupy taste.

Thanks for that combo @TakeMeToTheSea. Have not tried that combo.

How do you get it to play nice in a recipe? I’ve tried pairing it with Bavarian cream, VBIC, Vanilla custard, Cream Fresh, and various cookie and cakey things. I just always get the taste of like cooking chocolate or something. Very dry, very raw.

C’mon now. Even Meerkats know how good it is. :joy:

I guess I just never thought it had dry texture because I mainly used in some type of creamy recipe.
But the actual flavor of it was just the best chocolate to me.

Yeah I’m not sure how to describe what I mean but I’m referring to flavour more than feel. Maybe just different palates?

What percentage do you use it at?

Actually I had heard about how really good JF Omega Choc was for a couple years now. I never got it because I thought it would be just another disappointing chocolate I would toss out. I finally grabbed a bottle when JF had a weekend sale on One Shots and was completely surprised how fine it was. No bitterness, dryness, weird aftertaste. :+1:

OK, I think I know what you mean. There is sort of a cocoa powder thing going on there, I think. I used it around 2 - 3% in creamy dairy type recipes. It’s been a long time ago, but I liked using it with some VTA Chocolate Mousse. I remember resorting to making small 30ml bottles at a time so the intensity would hang in there at least 2 to 3 weeks. I still have a couple bottles and might go back to doing that just for myself because I liked it so much. :yum: And, yeah you’re right…there’s all different palates.

Yes it’s that powdered dry cocoa kinda taste. Like Chocolate your cheap relatives would get you at Easter :laughing:
Hmmm I’ve only played with he Glamour Chocolate above 3% and below 2% looking back at my recipes. I’ve also paired it with some heavy flavours like honey and nuts.
Maybe I’ve missed the 2-3% sweet spot or maybe I just need to put it in something a bit more simple…

Agreed, the Omega turned out to be better than expected.

Glamour chocolate is good if you vape it quick. If it’s in a liquid that sits for a month + it turns into straight cardboard. I used glamour chocolate in my kinder bueno recipe contest recipe. It was fantastic, until it sat.

Ohhhhhhh. I’ve just checked my notes and I’ve never tested it without a steep. I use all DAAP free stuff so I just steep everything for minimum 2 weeks. That’s an interesting bit of advice, thanks Bob.

Damned fine looking “Ricer” there @TakeMeToTheSea. I do however have to banish you to the Walmart parking lot, for using a VTA flavor I don’t have. :slight_smile:
