| 2 | Good Lord, I haven't made mock cream in about 45 years, but from memory I used the Edmonds recipe "Mock Cream (2)" : 2 tab butter Beat with an eggbeater until thick like cream. If it curdles keep beating until smooth. You will need soft butter, and I recall that it usually curdled at one point in the process then would magically come together as a soft mass with a little liquid that needed to be drained off. Beware - it is very sweet. davidt4 - 2019-10-31 17:33:00 |

Good Lord davidt4, you've got to make do when you live in the country .... that's the one I can't make, it always curdles. I found one, and a choc cake is waiting to be eaten, thanks for your reply. rainrain1 - 2019-10-31 18:03:00 |
| 4 | Watching with interest. I usually make the above recipe 2,2 and 2, but found if you added the boiling water too quickly you got a buttery soup! Lately I’ve added a little bit of cold milk, the sugar and butter seemed to absorb this easier than the boiling water. Good luck, yes and does curdle on me too when using the water. strowan1 - 2019-10-31 18:39:00 |
| 5 | Yea, I like davidt4, haven't made mock cream for yonks, then had a go at the above recipe and remembered when it curdled that I never could make the darn stuff. I found a recipe with icing sugar that whipped up like a dream...not proper mock cream, but cake looks darn good. rainrain1 - 2019-10-31 18:45:00 |
| 6 | I have made mock cream in the recipe below with success but a long time ago.I would add the vanilla last. I think I beat the butter (with no sugar) wash it as recommended then added sugar and vanilla and beat again till all dissolved which was not long. In my thinking if you add the sugar and vanilla then wash, you are removing all the flavour and sweetness but I may be wrong as the recipe does suggest to do this. Love cream buns with mock cream. https://www.womensweeklyfood.com.au/recipes/honey-roll-with- Edited by marcs at 8:12 pm, Thu 31 Oct marcs - 2019-10-31 20:09:00 |
| 7 | I've always used a custard-style base that whips up like fresh cream, and can be used as filling or topping. My Mock Cream Method: Combine the butter and vegetable shortening in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 4 minutes until it is light and fluffy. Add the sugar and continue to beat for 4 more minutes. Add the cooled milk mixture and vanilla and beat for 4 more minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Spread (or fill piping bag with large nozzle and pipe) into sponge roll, on cupcakes, or in layer cake. autumnwinds - 2019-10-31 21:09:00 |
| 8 | I "invented" one.... that, no doubt, others have made as well...... As much diet Margarine as you need. Beat in a little vanilla. punkinthefirst - 2019-11-01 13:45:00 |
