Really Need To Refrigerate Dreamwhip & Choc Syrup Fillin
Decorating By cakesrock Updated 24 Mar 2011 , 6:47pm by LindaF144a
I made a chocolate mousse filling (like the Costco one) with dreamwhip (according to pkg directions) and chocolate syrup. Do I really need to refrigerate this?
The reason I ask is because Indydebi's BC is not refrigerated and it has milk and dreamwhip (though not whipped up). I understand the reason for this is that the sugar acts as a preservative. It does have less milk than the mousse, but would the sugary chocolate syrup not serve the same purpose in this case? Maybe that's a stretch, but I can't seem to find a straight answer! I have even emailed Kraft (no response yet)...
TIA
Hershey's syrup says to refrigereate after opening. I also believe the Dream Whip should be refrigerated after making it according to the package directions. Since both items need to be refrigerated by themselves, I think you probably still need to do so after combining.
Hmm, I don't know then. Hopefully someone else will know. Personally, I would still refrigerate it, but I tend to be very careful because I get sick easily.
Refrigeration is a sensitive subject, because the vast majority of times when a product says to keep refrigerated it does so only as a CYA measure. However, you certainly don't want to be the person that accidentally sickens someone with a spoiled filling/icing. I guess in the end it is a store-at-your-own-risk judgement call. Most things that are super high in sugar content will be fine unrefrigerated in the short term, I agree with CakeRN that dream whip is probably recommended to stay in the fridge to keep it from becoming soft or warm.

Off topic, but oooooh, another NYer. Where in upstate NY? Often times it means right outside of NYC. I live in what we call the true upstate, by the Lake. And you?
