I use real fruit purees, liqueurs, a few citrus oils, and for some flavors
infuse the cream with spices. (Not all at once, I hasten to add! <G>) I'm
trying to imagine if the flavors you describe would dissolve in cream, and
if they would taste "real." I tend to doubt it....although I have seen
powdered vanilla, which some people think is excellent (I haven't tried
it.).

What flavors are they?

I just bought some powdered vanilla the other day. I'd never seen it
before and decided to give it a try. I have yet to try it but will let
you know how it works out when I do! Certainly smells good!

They offer a number of flavors. I got raspberry, lime and orange.

I too have tried fruit purees, liquors and infused cream, but was
told these powders offered a more real taste and none of the alcohol
taste you get in some liquid flavors and oils.
