Herakles from Lyon’s Regency Line is a massive dessert stack:
a buttery cookie base, sweet Greek yogurt cream cake, and a soft, golden vanilla custard layer, all compressed into one flavor. Creamy, dense, slightly tangy, and distinctly bakery-like – a modern cheesecake hybrid with cookie crunch.
Flavor Profile
Cookie Base
Buttery biscuit/cookie note with a slightly baked character – reminiscent of crumbled shortbread cookies or cookie crumbs as a base. Rich, sweet, "crunchy" in feel.
Greek Yogurt Creamcake
Creamy, sweet yogurt cake note with a slight yogurt tang – adds freshness and prevents the whole thing from being drowned in dull sweetness. Sensorially, think "yogurt cheesecake."
Vanilla Custard Filling
Dense, soft vanilla custard – creamy, round, slightly pudding-like, connecting the cookie & cream cake to form a complete dessert profile.
Application
Highly concentrated food flavoring – a few drops are enough, for example, to:
-
Transform creams, mousses, yogurts, or desserts in a glass into a "cookie-yogurt-vanilla dessert"
-
Enhance cheesecakes, cake fillings, frostings & glazes with a modern cream cake profile
-
Make ice cream, milkshakes, bowls, or protein creams taste significantly denser, more dessert-like, and more "patisserie"
Dose slowly – Herakles is designed as a main flavor and quickly overshadows other components.
Why Herakles from Headshot?
-
Full dessert profile in one flavor: Cookie, yogurt-cream cake & vanilla custard instead of individual, flat notes.
-
Sweet, but not dull: Sweet, creamy, bakery-heavy – with a light yogurt freshness so it doesn't feel sticky.
-
Ideal for modern dessert creations: Perfect for anything that should taste like a "trendy dessert in a glass" or "cheesecake meets cookie."
Conclusion
If your creations are meant to taste like a thick cookie-yogurt-vanilla dessert block, Herakles is your tool: loud, creamy, massively bakery-like – exactly what a Lyon's Regency variety must deliver, otherwise it can be kicked out of the lineup.
