Think something like peach cobbler, except with a sweet nectarine glaze instead of peach, over fried pastry dough (not quite like a danish, more like fritters), with some cream cheese and ice cream to top it off.
The Joy is there to tie it together, while Liquid Amber really helps create the right flavor profile for the nectarine. Those two go well together in pastry recipes. The meringue helps provide, IMO, a better mouth feel.
I like to add a very small amount of sweetener to this, but I know many people don't, so adjust accordingly. I feel like a bit of butter flavoring might take the recipe to the next level, but I don't have any. YMMV.
I'm honestly really proud of this juice. It's one of my few (out of WAY too many failures) that I think can stand up to premium lines.
You should be very proud of this recipe! This recipe is excellent off the shake! I was nervous because usually joy tastes kinda weird till it steeps in, but this tastes AWESOME! I cant wait to see where the flavor goes after a good steep. Well done and thank you for sharing! 5 stars
