Description
Capella’s Vanilla Custard V2 food flavouring delivers a rich, creamy custard profile with a touch of vanilla. This V2 version has a different flavour profile from Capella’s original Vanilla Custard, making it a useful alternative when you want a distinct custard direction in a recipe while retaining the familiar combination of creamy custard and vanilla.
Vanilla Custard V2 works particularly well in baking and desserts, including cakes, cupcakes, muffins, frostings, icings, fillings and other sweet creations. It can also be used in puddings, creams, custards and other soft desserts where a smooth, indulgent profile is desired.
For beverages, this flavour can add a creamy dessert character to milkshakes, smoothies, coffee-inspired drinks and other sweet creations. It can be used as the main flavour or combined with other flavour concentrates to build a more complex dessert profile.
Vanilla Custard V2 pairs naturally with chocolate, cocoa, caramel, butterscotch and other rich dessert flavours. Fruit flavours such as strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cherry or peach can provide a contrasting fruit element, while additional vanilla or cream flavours can create a softer and more rounded profile.
Because V2 has a different profile from the original Vanilla Custard, it can be worth experimenting with both versions when developing a recipe to determine which better suits the desired flavour direction. Start with a small amount and gradually adjust according to the recipe and desired flavour intensity. The amount needed will vary depending on the other ingredients and the overall flavour balance you want to achieve.





Koldfusion –
I like this VC over the Version 1 because it has less egg note to it. This is actually closer to an authentic custard than the V1. The steep is key to these and will drastically change over time.
Love this stuff
