hey all

 

so i was looking for a clever way to make a really quick and easy thick custardlike filling for a boston cream pie 3 layer cake that i was making.  i have made the cooked versions of custard with eggs milk sugar etc and i had also read about stabilized whipped creams with a couple tbsp of vanilla pudding powder but just for curiositys sake i tried a cup and a half of whipped cream and a full box of pudding mixture and whipped in a mixer like i was making whipped cream. its fantastic!  thick like a custard and very vanilla without being overly sweet. its great!  anyone else ever filled a cake with a similar concoction??

 yes. it was a full 3.4 oz box of french vanilla pudding and a cup and half to 2 cups of whipping cream. i put the cream in an electric mixer bowl and then turned it on medium and sprinkled in the pudding. once it was mixed i turned in onto high so that any little clumps broke up before they set. it came together in a about a minute and it blended up into a thick whip.  went on smooth and creamy.  i let it set in the bowl for 5 minutes to make sure it didn't keep thickening and it didnt seem to get any thicker so i knew it was ok to use on the cake. good luck!

Hmm. For a vanilla cream pie filling, try making a box of instant pudding according to the box directions, only substituting half-and-half for the milk.

This sounds really really good, has anyone else tried a similar recipe/ whipping cream+pudding mix? I like prefer custard used in cakes with strawberries .. is this similar to that or more like a buttercream?

I've used Cool Whip with instant pudding too, I believe with less milk than the box calls for but I don't recall the amount.  It was also yummmmmy.
