This was a quick throw together idea as I am currently steeping several tobacco mixes, banana pudding batches, and a new Twinkie mix. This is a Pebble Cheesecake with Ice Cream, topped with Frosted Flakes. Yummers! 😃
RF Fruit Pebbles is an interesting one for sure. I think what RF was going for was a blend of natural orange, artificial lemon, and subtle cherry in a way that one flavor would not wholly dominate the other. Instead of tasting just lemon, all three flavors are present and can be identified seperately. I think it's use in a cheesecake or ice cream where it is not meant to be an in your face cereal flavor is perfect due to the balance of fruits in RF Pebbles. Using a secondary Flake or Circle cereal certainly boosts the grain and lemon which is what we have come to expect in these types of flavors. Don't have RF Fruit Pebbles? It's all good, just bump up the Fruity Flakes to 3-3.5% if you prefer.
Recipe Note:
Slight Change, Made 09/20: Addition of Fruity Flakes FW
I love this mix, I absolutely love it. It seems the Fruit Pebbles RF is the exact kind of Fruity Cereal I enjoy, grainy and perfect, light on the fruit flavor, just the right amount of blending lemon and orange to not overload your palate. I am making one slight change, which is just the addition of Fruity Flakes FW at 2%. I could very well just increase the RF Pebble, but I want the two different flavors to bounce off each other in the recipe, sort of how using Fruit Circles and Fruity Flakes together both bring differing qualities to a mix. The Fruit Pebbles RF needs a little help in reaching it's cereal potential, but I love the flavor itself even if it is a tad on the lighter side.
10/01 Recipe Edit:
Using 3% Purilum Cheesecake in place of Capella New York Cheesecake, the Purilum Cheesecake is just spectacular, rich and creamy with no tangy afertaste. It is a superb flavor. I also raised the Fruity Flakes to 2% as they were getting quite drowned out by other flavors. I still wanted the Sweet Cereal Flakes to be more a main cereal than the Pebbles, and the new percentages work perfectly for that. Reduced VBIC (FW) from 3% to 2.5% as the Purilum Cheesecake really does the heavy lifting being so rich and creamy.
