Wow, your Twinkies look phenomenal!
I've never actually had a twinkie. Next up should be to veganize a tastykake chocolate kreamie. I have had a few of those. :)
If I had a hat, I'd take it off - those look pretty darn special. I've never had a twinkie either, but judging from those pictures, I think I'd love them!
Looks spectacular!
I made these and they were great! I personally think real twinkies taste like death and these definitely did not. My vegan cream cheese was disgusting and moldy so I substituted earth balance for the cream cheese and shortening. Still delicious! Just the icing was a bit grainy and runny.
Also, you failed to mention the baking temp! But, I cooked at 325 f for half an hour and it was fine.
Thank you for the fab recipe! My friends and family loved them!
*Oh and also used food coloring because I was really scared I would taste nutritional yeast. That stuff tastes so bad.
Thanks for the feedback -- glad you liked these and good to know about the EB. And sorry about the omission. I checked my notes and baking temp/time is 350 oven for 30-35 minutes. I wrote to Chloé Jo at Girlie Girl Army and asked her to update.
By the way, there's so little nooch in these that you can't taste it. But I supposed an all-natural food coloring would also work ;) I personally love nooch.
Okay, if I make these again then I will add the nooch. I just hate it so much! It's more the smell than anything. Does yours smell too? I don't really see how it tastes like cheese either. Are there different brands that taste different? I don't know what I use but it's not my taste.
I've always bought my nooch (nutritional yeast) from the bulk bins at Whole Foods. No, my nooch does not smell --so maybe you have a bad batch. Its taste resembles cheese, but it's a very mild flavor. I would definitely try another brand and would not use the kind you have in anything else. What kind are you using? Have you checked the expiration date?
If the next brand you try smells/tastes odd to you, well then I think we can definitely diagnose you with an aversion to nooch ;)
