pegasus- when you 'find the unicorn' make sure everyone knows, because I'm exactly the same - it's gotta be custard tasting custard - thanking you in advance, obviously

I will, because grant as a lot to answerer for here, the thing is this, custard is made from eggs, milk/cream, sugar and vanilla, not nutmeg and caramel, egg custard has nutmeg sprinkled on the top then baked in a pastry case and sticky toffee topping is a sweet caramel, and from what I can find so far is, because Grant blended these three elements together, all be it very well, and then called it GVC, he set a target to aim for, because it appears now that every juice alchemist and reviewer out there has lost the plot, I just wish he had called it, oh I don't know, " treacle pudding and custard ". I remember back to my school dinners, we would have treacle sponge and custard I would eat all the sponge really carefully and I would be left with this treacle gu, I would mix it with loads of custard, to me that’s what Grants is like, then some rework it, tone down the vanilla, the sweetness, up the spice, that’s egg custard, and on and on it goes, but it's all called Vanilla Custard, all because Grant got it wrong in the first place... As Jeremy Clackson would say " How hard can it be " to make just a vanilla custard.

The quest goes on and so do my hopes..!

I've tried quite a few and not found one yet that tastes like thick custard out of a tin.
Of them all I prefer grants, but it isn't ambrosia devon, and I would love to find that.

What about Bavarian cream???
All the mixers???
Bavarian cream mixed with custard or vanilla or both or something completely different

I'm thinking out loud really but the tinned custard is quite vanillery , and very thick and creamy, and quite sweet.

Dulce de Leche

French Vanilla Deluxe

Vanillin

They're all flavours that will increase creaminess and compliment Capella's Vanilla Custard, which is what Grant uses in GVC.

But as Greigster said earlier, any flavour is only going to be a representation of the actual thing . . . .
