The1FigMan June 17, 2020:

Amelia's Vanilla Cream has that wonderful base fig taste with concentrated flavors vanilla to the point of nearly being almost maple. The vanilla flavors are highlighted with tastes of honey while there are small notes of pecans. The very thin purple skin has the feel of velvet which dissolves resulting in an ultra creamy texture of the fruit.

Some have made an analogy of the taste to be like a heaping teaspoon of custard pecan pie -- the strong flavors of maple and vanilla sweetened with honey.
