Cake Fillings & Mousses

Cake Fillings Recipe:

Homemade cake fillings add a delightful touch to your creations, but it’s essential to ensure they are stable and suitable for extended storage. Without preservatives, homemade fillings are prone to spoilage, so it’s crucial to use non-dairy products to achieve a firmer consistency, especially for mousse fillings.

Here are two delectable cake filling recipes along with storage tips:

** Chocolate Mousse Filling: **

Ingredients:
– 1 quart Pastry Pride (available from restaurant or bakery suppliers)
– Chocolate fudge ice cream topping, ganache, or dry instant chocolate pudding mix, to taste
– 6 ounces or more semi-sweet chocolate chips, finely ground or miniature chocolate chips
– Liquor or flavoring of your choice (e.g., vanilla, rum, chocolate liquors)

Instructions:
1. Whip the Pastry Pride until medium to stiff peaks form, being careful not to overmix.
2. Gradually incorporate the chocolate fudge ice cream topping, ganache, or dry instant chocolate pudding mix until the desired flavor is achieved.
3. Mix in the finely ground semi-sweet chocolate chips or miniature chocolate chips.
4. Add liquor or flavoring of your choice to taste.

** Chocolate Almond Mocha Filling: **

Ingredients:
– 1 quart Pastry Pride (available at restaurant or bakery suppliers)
– ½ cup dark or milk chocolate ganache
– ¼ to ½ cup Suisse mocha instant coffee beverage mix
– 6 ounces or more toasted slivered almonds
– Liquor or flavoring of your choice (e.g., vanilla, rum, chocolate liquors)

Instructions:
1. Whip the Pastry Pride until medium to stiff peaks form, ensuring not to overmix.
2. Incorporate the dark or milk chocolate ganache and Suisse mocha instant coffee beverage mix.
3. Mix in the toasted slivered almonds.
4. Add liquor or flavoring of your choice according to your taste preferences.

Storage Tips:
– Both fillings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for future use. If frozen, defrost in the refrigerator before using.
