help!!! bettercreme - Page 3

post #31 of 50

I have heard how great Bettercreme is, and have been wanting to try it for so long. So today I finally bit the bullet and drove 13 miles to the Gordon's closest to my house. I bought two 1 quart containers of the liquid Vanilla Bettercreme and now have one in the freezer and one in my fridge! My question is, how much icing does a whole quart make? And I'm sure someone answered this already, but if I don't use it all after I make it, can I freeze the leftovers? I can't wait to make it, and with all the suggestions people have been giving regarding flavorings, I think I will be going Bettercreme crazy! TIA for all your help.

One quart of bettercreme will ice and decorate a half sheet cake. Two cups of it will fill and ice one batch (approximately 24) cupcakes. I don't know the 'measurements' per se, but this is how I track it! Glad you finally broke down and got some!! Make sure you 'kick it up a notch' by adding flavorings! thumbs_up.gif

As for refreezing, I have not personally done it, but many people have said they've done it with aboslutely no trouble at all.

Yoo hoo, Bettercreme Queen! Have you ever combined cream cheese and Bettercreme? (I tried searching for this info, but couldn't find it--Kept coming up with the cream cheese pre-flavored Bettercreme.)

I made a cream cheese and whipped cream icing that a friend loved. She wants it on her wedding cake, but it's not very stable.

My local GFS only carries the regular, vanilla BC, and I'm wondering about whipping up some cream cheese and then adding some Bettercreme to it.

Thanks loads.

Yes ma'am! I make fillings more rich by whipping cream cheese and flavorings, then folding in whipped bettercreme. That was my original butterscotch and coconut filling recipes, I think they're in the recipe file if you want details. Or, if you're interested, I can give you more details right here!! icon_wink.gif It's super yummy and rich!

Melvira, when you whip cream cheese and flavoring and fold in the bettercreme, do you add sugar to the cream cheese, would that make more of a frosting consistancy? am I making any sense? icon_redface.gif

You make sense to me... but I'm not sure that should make you feel better! icon_lol.gif Har har har!!

Yes, here is what I do...

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c. sugar
1 (4 serv) pkg any flavor pudding
1/4 c milk (just to moisten)
2 c. liquid bettercreme

Whip cheese and sugar until smooth. (Can use PS if you prefer). Add pudding and milk, whip until smooth. Set aside. Whip bettercreme to almost stiff peaks. Fold into pudding mixture.

This makes a fantastic filling and frosting, just be sure not to underwhip the bettercreme or it will not hold up.

Another amazing option without cream cheese is to pour the package of pudding into the liquid bettercreme (skip the sugar) and add about 1/2 c. milk, whip it all together to almost stiff peaks. This is a fantastic mousse/filling/icing!
