Melissa, I got a caramel filling recipe from here, posted by Abbey. It is my favorite filling now and OH SO GOOD! All you need is:
1 jar or caramel ice cream topper
1 softened block of cream cheese
1-2 cups of powdered sugar.
Mix that all together in a bowl and you're done. I just used my hand mixer for this...just make sure your cream cheese is softened. I think I only used about a cup of the topping too and only about a 1/2c - 1c of sugar. It's already sweet enough for me.
I used it for a filling of a chocolate chocolate chip cake and it was so yummy.
I made a whipped ganache for the first time a few weeks ago. Just heat one cup of heavy whipping cream to almost boiling. Remove it from the stove and pour in 1 cup of chocolate. Whisk together until the chocolate is all melted. I then put the pot in an ice bath (bigger bowl with cold water and ice) and continued whisking until it cooled.
I was going to pour this over my cake but then decided to run it through the KA. I used the whisk attachment and it whipped beautifully and smoothed on my cake like butter!
Good luck....my mouth is now watering.
That'd work for me.
the kahlua is strong flavoring so you can use a chocolate cakemix and no one will notice.
