inspired by the popular treat in NY a croissant and donut mixed together with glaze and cream cheese icing of course!
made 10/17 steeped 1 day so far it is super rich sweet and creamy! I am sure this will change a lil over time with further steeping but for now it is a delicious bakery vape !
I wanted to use FA's croissant but too bad it isn't suitable for vaping. Biscuit INW is hardly detectable at 1% I may make some tweaks some may have cookie FA use it in it's place.
Amy, I've never tried the NY treat you described, however all I can tell you is I ate a Winchell's glazed doughnut and vaped your recipe along side it and it was identical....Calorie Free Nirvana!!!
Jay I tried it again the other day and the taste was just as good. This is basically a shake and vape that just gets richer and better ! Not to toot my own horn 😉
Let me just say that I only mixed it yesterday- and it was literally flawless in its taste profile rite after shaking, I can only imagen how good it will be after a week( if it survives that long, lol) can't put it down...👍
There isn't a way. I am active on the Forum. If you go to the forum you can PM me I am Amy2 on there. The forum is phenomenal lots of good info on there !
I agree with you @Amy ....I can't stop vaping this...
Perfect juice perfect flavor sweet rich creamy..
Many many thanks 2you!
Also i use chocolate glezed doughnut in place of frosted.
A M A Z I N G .
Sorry that sucks. The DDL is pretty crucial since it steeps and turns into more of a chocolate sweetness but Catalan will be nice ! Let me know how it turns out. It will be a different vape altogether.
@amy*** alisa pointed me to this. I've been messing around with caps and tfas donuts for a few months trying to clone my favorite liquid "mfn's glazed donut" which tastes exactly like a Krispy Kreme glazed donut to me. I'm nowhere close to it. And I've made several testers similar to this, but I use caps at 6 or 7% and tfas at 3 or 4%. So maybe I'm too high. I'll give this a go 2maro. Mine just never turn out sweet for me.
I like to keep my Pg levels low but I have used caps successfully at 5-5% and TFA at 4% you may consider doing 4% of each and keeping the dulce de Leche at 2% ( has a chocolate note in there but steeps pretty well) also if you really want it to be sweet you may have to add a sweetener. I haven't tried FW's donut yet. Interested in doing so now lol. The joy FA helps give this mix a breadiness and the cream cheese icing definetly helps w/ sweetness. Good luck on your clone !
Great recipe Amy, thanks. I mixed up some with Caps chocolate glazed dounut instead of the regular also and it's pretty good that way as well. Thanks again for the great juice :)
Try to get the Chocolate Amy*** directly from caps or in original packaging if ya dont have it already. chocolate donut seems to be a hit or miss flavor from alotta vendors for inconsistencies
I also dropped the ddl. I don't like chocolate vapes too much so I swapped it with Catalan like authormichellehughes did. Outstanding vape! Have only steeped overnight so far so I know it will mature quite a bit. I think I may drop the Catalan down a smidge though. It adds too much of a cinnamon like aspect. But it is delicious. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Amy, I would like to make your Cronut recipe but I don't have the Loranns Cream Cheese Icing. While I realize it would not be the same recipe without it but do you ever substitute the Loranns for anything else. Thanks so much. I love your recipes.
If I had to sub something out for the CCI it would be INW's Vanilla Shisha at the same %s but I have never made it with sounds like it'd be good. Thank you for the nice compliment.
Thank you for the quick response. I just so happen to have INW's Vanilla Shisha. Lucky me. i will give it a try and will let ya know how it turns out. Thanks again.
Hi Amy, So last week you helped me out with this recipe because I didn't have cream cheese icing. I thought I had INW vanilla shisa. Well......I didn't. So I placed an order for both. I mixed up a of both today. Both are really good. Now I am new to mixing so my abilities at describing good flavor profiles is not so good. But right after mixing and tasting I would have to say that the one with INW is a bit lighter and the one with Lorann's is richer. I will give it a few days to steep at let you know. Thank you again. You are always so generous with your help.
Thank you ! I love hearing how ppl adapt recipes I'd love to hear how they turn out. The CCI is going to be much richer it is a bolder flavor hope you like them both !
This is a work of art. I never liked Capella glazed donut, nor any of the juices that use it, but this is amazing and has made me stock up on it. This has been my ADV for a week now. As always Great work and thank you so much for sharing !
@zane87 I think custard FA is kinda important I know it's just a custard but it has lemony notes that I feel contribute toward the " cakeiness" of the batter in this mix. I don't get lemon per se on taste it's just one of those custards that slightly milky but really more of a creaminess. I'd be stretching it to say FLV Vanilla custard may work idk it's hard to say. Many ppl put their spin on this recipe please feel free to do so ! Wish I could be more help !
I've finally been able to mix this, and it is delicious right away. I haven't had an actual cronut, but, as described, it tastes like a mix of glazed donut and a croissant. It's fantastic as is, but looking forward to trying with Chocolate Glazed Donut also. Thanks for yet another outstanding recipe.
Amy I normally don't ask about substitutions because mixers like you have already tried every possibility before posting recipes.....but....what do you think about replacing the DDL with Hansgen Italian Cream? I have DDL but I am going to be adding in strawberry shisha and hate chocolate with fruit flavor.
KittyVapes you're welcome to give it a go but it won't be like Cronut it may be good I'd go low like 1-2 drops on the Italian cream very strong you wouldn't want to cover up the sweet glaze frosting. Let me know how it turns out.
Use Catalan Cream FA if you can tolerate a little bit of cinnamon...I am not sure SB is going to be very good w/ it up high thou. If I were to swap out the DDL , Catalan Cream may be the " closest " swap....but you'll have to deal w/ the cinnamon notes..also Frosted Donut has some as well. If FW's Tres Leche's didn't have corn syrup in it it would of been the perfect sub but I wouldn't use it now that I know that. Something along those lines would be good. You can try a Bavarian cream or a Vanilla Cupcake that would certainly go better w/ the SB shisha.
Thank you so much for your advice Amy. I love cinnamon and will use any reason to use my catalan cream, lol. I also have fw tres leche and I have seen, like the much loved yellow cake that it has corn syrup. I have been looking for reports on vaping flavorings with corn syrup. I come from a generation that has had so many food scares so I am not so sure of how concerning it should be. Don't use butter, use margarine.....don't eat eggs, eat more eggs....don't eat white sugar, eat sugar free! Um hello aspartame? So I just don't know anymore but I do know that vaping is better than smoking. Sorry if I sound like I am ranting and I really do appreciate your advice. I use many of your recipes daily.
Thanks KittyVapes I understand you plight....it is better than smoking any day of the week but then again for me I started vaping to lessen the harm so I try to use only small portions of the naughty and I have not considered using those of FW's corn syrup flavors just think it's too much of a risk and the coils gets gunked anyway so I know there are better flavors out there anyhow. You could certainly have a similar vape with using Catalan hope it comes out to your likings !
I haven't found any of your mixes that aren't really really good.I am glad I have everything to make more of this one! ;-)
I may even try to make a small batch with FLV Boysenberry @2.0% to see what it does.Thanks again for the share!
I like the sound of that ! Boysenberry FLV is So good and it is perfect for this I bet you could swap the donut and do a CGD Caps with the Boysenberry mmhh may have to give that a whirl. i always wanted to give this one some fruit but never really got around to it. I think I'll join you !
At 70% VG this gives some extreme throat hit. I'm not sure what's causing it yet. Just making note for anyone reading. Smooth, sweet, and creamy at 91%. Appreciate the recipe!
Once I get around to it I'll narrow down the culprit and report back.
I'm mixing 75vg, 6mg and don't find it harsh.
I made this up a couple of days ago. Loving it !!!
I'm new to DIY, and I'm glad I found this recipe.
I ordered all the flavours just to try it, and it's a winner.
I just made up a second batch with +2% Cap Glazed Donut. Have not tried it yet, but I like Glazed, so it should be good.
Thanks Amy!
It'd prob just be less sweet @tonyp but being the joy is pretty bready in this recipe I would venture to say it'd get a lil harsh if too much biscuit was used but ymmv.
Ok cool. I'll leave it be then :)
I just tried the mix with +2% Glazed Donut.
Very Nice. Only been sitting for 12 hrs.
This stuff is so hard to leave on the shelf!
Maureeenie that's ok you could bring up the glazed .Frosted brings a bit more sweetness and a tiny hint of cinnamon ( to me ) maybe try glazed at 4% overall in the recipe but the Frosted does impact the recipe since I feel it really binds to the Joy making it sweeter and together this must be where some of the cinnamon comes through although it is super mild.
Yea FA croissant was my first intention but it's not suitable for vaping that is a part of FA's kitchen line. I still have the flavor just used it in baking now.
Excellent recipe, I used 0.5% FA Condensed Milk instead of TPA DDL because I hate the latter with passion. Turned out great. Tried it two weeks into steeping and now I won't know if it gets better with time until I mix a bigger batch, because the 10 ml sampler lasted me one day. Kinda tempted to use SA Condensed Milk next time, it's getting very positive reviews on some DIY groups.
@heatho72 I would just wait for biscuit it's really better than AP. If you do try it I wouldn't go high as the biscuit is a back note in this recipe.
@Mema7511 You may have used too much Joy FA it should only be 1 drop in 10mls or 0.3% very small amount. Joy FA is notorious for coming off as yeasty when too high you may either be really sensitive to this or you may have gone a lil higher i am unsure. It's possible it's just not for you. That's ok no juice is universal :) I hope it gets better...I can SnV this one easily as it really doesn't change to me just gets better creamier and smooth. Hope it works out for the both of you guys
@amy: thx. I just ordered more FA cookie so I will use that instead. Will mix @ 1% like inw biscuit. Hope this comes out like the original as I have no doubt it would be delish. 👍
I'd like to pick your brain a little, on cloning my favorite juice, it's nerdcore believe, (a qtr pound cronut drowned in cream, sprinkled with pear and I taste a light cinammon note) have you tried it?
DamonP that sounds soo good but I have not tried it sorry ! I don't really buy retail juice maybe like 1 a year if that. But since you said a lil bit of cinnamon I get some cinnamon notes off of Frosted Donut TFA if you use it high enough it'll come through as a backnote especially around 3-5% as far as the cream not sure what type it'd be maybe a whipped cream ? Or is it a flavored type cream like Catalan Cream...it gives a touch of cinnamon like note in there. Pear is it candied or more fresh fruit like. Pear FA is fabulous for presenting as a creaminess... curious if the Pear is FA and being used a lil higher w/ just a splash of fresh cream ( clean cream ) FA nice sounding vape regardless. I hope you can make it , I'd vape it !
I lowered ddl and added .50 Catalan cream and added 1% cds. And it's acruelly pretty close. And Its a more natural toasted type of pear. What would be the best pear flavouring? Ty
Depends on your preference. Candied pears would be TFA pear and INW. More realistic pear would be FA. Super happy your getting close to your clone quest !
its hard to pin point if its natural, or candied, since its so faint. but i ordered inw and tfa pear, so ill see what will work best. yes im very happy. that juice without the outta control sweetener, will be pure bliss! thanks for your help.
Have to agree with Lolly. i love bakery style vapes and this one is super good. i'm new at mixing but very glad i tried this recipe as my first. already made 200ml. 10/10
Oh my @amy this recipe is delicious, I did away with my ultrasonic (as I broke it from overuse, although have had a replacement which is strictly used for cleaning my tanks.
So natural Steep made on the 25/2/17 and I have resisted till now, so like two months and I've got your juice in a TFV4 Mini with the new TF-T8 coil, good up to 180.
And wow thanks this juice has been added to my ADV.
Your hard work and knowledge of flavour is so much appreciated, I'm gonna go vape & make some more.
Thank you @ Shane ! This one is just as tasty on a shake n vape as it is with a few weeks steep your choice 😊
And @krysztofkris someone else asked that before about trading out the DDL for a Catalan cream or Salted Caramel I say it sounds lovely give it a try let me know how it goes !
@JohnnyBigodes I make all mine reveresed as in 70 VG 30 PG no matter what the recipe says, it's the flavour concentrate percentage that counts, maybe you want to try a different coil, I've had this juice on a TFV4 Mini with the new T8 coil which is supposed to be best between 100-140w & will go up to around 180. I found 84w was the sweet spot and when I say sweet I mean this juice is delicious, if your MTL then maybe try STL or up your watts. If you build your own coils I highly recommend NI80, the hype is not hype this stuff is seriously good much better and cleaner than Kanthal or SS316L, you can taste everything. @amy*** is a guru her pallet must be worth a fortune and should be insured. Up your Watts or change your wire, then come back and tell everyone your opinion 😀
@Shane and that was the reason why i was asking... My palate doesnt seem to very as good as yours or Amy`s. Yes i build my coils myself, but at the end the receipt beeing very low on flavours dont have anything to do with the coils and could be everything about the base.
Thanks @shane
@JohnnyBigodes I make this as a max vg and don't add any additional pg but that is me. Try it at your favorite blend if you like 30/70 then go for that. It's a bakery juice a sweet milky caramel with bready donut. I vape this day one it doesn't have to steep at all for me maybe you'll do better with a week steep. The overall flavor %s is lower for some ppl but again I have a pg sensitivity so this suites me well. I hope the higher pg blend suites you better.
@amy*** you're very welcome, as @Shelley_12 says above this recipe amongst many others you have posted are definitely ADVs and lovely to vape, I left this Mix for about a month before vaping on it 😢, I really wish I knew it was a SAV, that said it was well worth the wait.
@JohnnyBigodes fair play def change your wire if your not already using NI80 you can grab some for cheap from The Crazy Wire Company, just Google them. If your using Kanthal then that's the issue, if you already have NI80 turn your mod up mate 👍
@Daniel Wright LA Cream Cheese Icing is hard to find as lorann's flavoring here in the UK because of licensing laws, as companies are not supposed to use the name LorAnn's flavoring's...
So if you would like to try @amy*** s recipe so it tastes as authentic as possible...
Chefs Flavours calls them Lauren's Flavours and you can find that concentrate here for £2.40 per 10ml
https://www.chefsflavours.co.uk/lauren-s-flavours/3740-cream-cheese-icing.html
Hope your sub goes well for now although believe me it's well worth waiting, if you can :)
Hello @JohnnyBigodes just as a tester for ya, I tried this lovely mix in my Triton 2 with a standard .5 Clapton coil at 42w and it tastes exactly the same, not as warm although still delicious. So maybe it's not your wire or your Watts. So it could be one of your flavours or your taste buds, I know a load of people have a love hate relationship with FA Joy, check the dates on your flavours and believe me if that's what the issue is, it's well worth grabbing some fresh stuff. Hope that helps ;)
This one looks really good. I'm sure I'll be trying it in the future. I wanted to let you know that your Crunchmeister recipe (it was YOURS right?) is a regular in my rotation. Thanks.
Howard Hughes thank you for the kind words and yes crunchmeister is mine nice to hear feedback on that recipe it doesn't get any attention lol. Let me know how Cronut goes should you try it. Tonme its a really smooth easy going bakery juice you could pair whatever fruit you love w/ it but I like it as is. @ Harley thank you very much !
AMY!!! Love it... Didnt change a thing. I just wish I had found this sooner... I want the real thing now!!!.. Where is this Crunchmeister recipie? Im intrigued💨💨💨💨💨
Amy... Thanks for posting Crunchmeister... I just cant find a Canadian vendor that has birthday cake... And I know after eating birthday cake ice cream... Its not gonna be close without it...
@Zugmaschine if you don't like joy leave it out or if you like FA wOw try it in its place but it's change the recipe to a degree leaving it out may alter it but not significantly. I've never had it that way so if you give it a shot let me know. I hope u like it !
@Zugmaschine isn't 50 ml a huge tester lol why not like 10mls ! I really do love this very simple recipe it's an easy go to for me although I don't vape this recipe all that often but when I do I fall in love with it all over again.
Hahaha. Yes u are right, normal its a huge Tester, but i have trust in your Recipes, i dont mix one from you, what was bad. I think this will by good too. :-)
thanks for this recipe. I love bakery vapes and am new to diy. just made a batch of this last night and while i enjoy it, I don't think it's very sweet and the cinnamon note is a bit much for me. If i wanted to sweeten it up and reduce the baked cinnamon note, could I add more cream cheese icing or change the donut flavors a bit? If you've ever made a super sweet batch of this I'd love to know the tweaks you made.
Moop I haven't used sweetener in a very long time. I will say that when I first began DIY'n my own juice I felt it wasn't as sweet either until my taste buds repaired. If you want sweet u can add an additional sweetener and yes if you get too much cinnamon you can decrease the frosted donut or like you mentioned increase the CCI. DIY is fun i'd say the best part is that you can swap tweak adapt any recipe, it won't be mine or whomever you adapted from it'll be yours and you can expect it may be completely different could be similar but the most important is that you enjoy it. Welcome to DIY and thank you for trying my recipe.
I have already made this with a different custard called Welsh Custard and it was good but I have FA Custard Premium now,would that work instead of the ordinary FA Custard? Thank you for sharing this great recipe with us @Amy,all of your recipes are lovely.👌
Lucas thank you very sweet of you to say. As for your custard it sounds like it would lovely to try it in this recipe. I’ve got no clue at what % to suggest considering I hadn’t used it before. I hope it comes out delicious for you !
Just to let you know that I made this with the FA Custard Premium at the same percentage and it’s fantastic,this Custard doesn’t have the lemon flavour like the standard version,I don’t like citrus very much.
Vaping this in my Beserker Mini 11.5 watts 0.681 coil and the flavours banging and almost like eating this wonderful doughnut flavour.
Thanks once again,this is one of the best recipes that I’ve ever made.
Nathan17 that would be a different result honestly but really if it’s all you have go for it ! The difference is FA Custard has a slight lemon zing to it. FLV Custard also take around 3 weeks to become it’s well rounded creamy custard that it is when fully steeped. I’d say if you chose to sub definitely wait the time to steep otherwise it’ll be missing the custard component. Hope this helps.
Hi Amy,thanks for the recipe,looks great.I do not have Glazed Donut at this time,but I have everything else.Can you suggest a sub perhaps until I can get it ?Thanks again.
Hi Amy i did it how you said, let it steep a week and i feel it faint, like it does not have a flavorful taste to it, like its lacking something or more % of ingredients... any idea ?
Hi Amy. I mixed up a batch 10 days ago. And with all the will power i could muster, left it to steep. And all i can say is...OH MY GOSH!!! Never been to NY. Never had a cronut. But after this..who needs it!! Thank you for an amazing recipe
Hi Amy. I mixed up a batch 10 days ago. And with all the will power i could muster, left it to steep. And all i can say is...OH MY GOSH!!! Never been to NY. Never had a cronut. But after this..who needs it!! Thank you for an amazing recipe
I mixed this and adapted what I had on hand, I sub'd salted caramel (FW) for DDL , Custard V1 (CAP) and churro (CAP) for frosted donut.. delicious on the shake! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just made this, thought i had CAP Glazed doughnut but i dont, I have LNW Glazed Doughnut which ive not had a lot of success with, its got a funny plastic kind of taste in other recipes ive used it in :( .. Ill let it sit for a day or two though and see how this one comes out, If the LNW ruins it ill order CAP GD, Cheers, it looks like it should be delicious
Turns out Glazed Doughnut is just crap for my taste buds, i found my CAP GD that i thought i had and found the same notes for it "tastes like plastic crap" All this recipe gave me was that odd plastic taste i get from GD concentrates
@smokeleakz
It's very decent off the shake imho, and just gets better with steeping. After about a week I don't think it changes anymore, it's mature at a week.
@Bali_fog not really. Fa Custard has a Lemon background note, its more creme like. Maybe you try it with TPA Bavarian cream. It has also not that lemon note, but it could work in a way ...
