Flavor Delights Flavored Powder Bakery Mix Passion Fruit

If you’ve ever made any ube recipes, you know. For those who don’t, Ube is a pain to use from scratch. In Filipino stores it’s usually manufactured as a jam or powder. Most folks are used to this. I have a texture thing so I hate working with the jams. I don’t mind eating them but cooking with them is annoying. In Asian stores, you normally can find powders similar to this but the packaging is usually not to western convenience expectations e.g. plastic bag with no easy open that needs scissors and no easy way to store unless you transfer containers.So then this walks into my life. OMG thank you. A powder in a jar. No more repackaging into another jar or undated ziplock. It’s seems trivial, but that is what would normally desired me from ever using it. Well, now, given the ease of this product, I’ll have a thought that I should ube-fy something and run to the pantry and just do it. It’s so game changing for me. At that point, implications are endless.I’ve used this in cookies, cakes, pancakes, waffles, shakes… I want to try it on soft serve mix, mochas, champorado, honestly even milk. It’s so much easier so I try it in anything. I’ve just drained through it so quickly and nearly panicked that we didn’t have more. But no more purchasing higher priced items because they ube flavored it. I’ve legit bought so many baking mixes for dumb amounts of money because it was ube flavored.Now as far as adjustments go, there will be some. I use as directed, but that usually calls for quite a bit of powder added to the recipe. So for pancakes that means a smidge more water to adjust consistency. Unless your recipe explicitly uses ube powder, you’ll likely have to do minor adjustments. And since most recipes use the jam, I’m sure it affects consistency in ways I wouldn’t know how to fix so I stick until there’s a guide for this type of exchange, I will be experimenting a lot.Another observation, I’ve used the ube “extract” which is actually ube flavoring and I loathe it. I get why it’s used but it stains everything purple and the smell almost makes me sick. With the powder, it tastes and smells like ube when cooked as it should, not obnoxiously bringing my senses to a halt whilst cooking.

Delicious for coffee drinks

The powder is concentrated but not as concentrated as you think. I mixed a little in a few drops of water, and the concentrated flavor is excellent. I used this for making passion fruit cheesecake with 1:10 ratio, and it was quite weak in flavor. Basically 24 oz of cheesecake mix and 2 oz of the powder in a 9 in pie pan turned out to be good but not quite distinguishable as passion fruit. I think 1:5 ratio tastes more appropriate and you can try mixing it with some citrus flavor to bring out the fruitiness of it. So it would take half the jar to make a cheesecake.

For something as expensive as this you don’t expect to receive an unsealed package. When I try to get help there is no avenue. When I try to setup a return this item is not eligible for return. It didn’t come with an outside seal on the lid and when I unscrewed the top the seal paper came off with the seal with no assistance at all. If I could give zero stars I would give it so due to the lack of customer service and the expectation of a quality product due to price. Do not recommend this brand.

I usually love Flavor Delights' great flavors. But, while this flavor is tasty, it seems to be closer to an Apple Pie flavor. I get hints of a bright fruity aftertaste, as opposed to a warm fall pumpkin, I'm not sure why.With this, I think I will need to also add a bit of pumpkin powder to my cookie recipes... and I may even use this for my apple pie cookies with a bit more of apple flavoring.The spice level is mild and works just perfectly for my needs at this time.

The media could not be loaded. The flavour is still there even after baking,definately buying again. Everyone loved the cake, they said its the best cake they have ever tasted.

Absolutely perfect for the strawberries and cream cookies I make!

Package had no seal on it. Lid was loose. Had a good portion of the powder in the delivery bag. Had to throw it out.Refund was given.
