Here is wilton's recipe for pastry cream filling. Sounds good but I am doing a mmf covered cake and it usually doesnt do well in the fridge. Does this need to be refrigerated? The recipe doesnt mention it and some of their other recipes specifically say refrigerate.....Will be filling the cake tonight or tomorrow and it is for Friday night. What do you think?

instructions

In saucepan, blend all ingredients except vanilla. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches the consistency of medium cream sauce. Remove from heat, add vanilla and cool quickly. To prevent a skin from forming, brush with melted butter. Stir before using.

Anyone have any other recipe for a creamy vanilla kind of filling that doesnt need refrigeration???

This is an old old Wilton formula right out of ancient yearbooks.
I did not refrigerate it so much that I remember but that was before my brain was born too. There's no eggs in it so I think that makes it less hazardous--but I'm not 100% positive.

It's real creamy and real good.

Anyway-- from Wilton

French Buttercream

1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour

Combine ^^^ in a heavy saucepan

add to that

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup of milk

Combine and heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils. It will look like lava with big slow bubbles--it will be the consistency of thick mud. You need to keep the bottom & sides of the pot scraped well or it will burn.

Chill completely until there's no heat left in it. I often put mine in the freezer.

Then put 4 sticks of slightly softened butter (1pound) in a mixer bowl with 2 teaspoons vanilla and beat to loosen up the butter.

Add the chilled mixture--beat well.

There you have Wilton's French Buttercream.

Thank you I will try that! Is it true that that is probably stabilized by the sugar and is safe out of the refigerator? Nobody ever got sick from it right?icon_smile.gif

Nobody got sick from mine--yes that's correct. It never went bad like as a leftover or anything either.

As far as the science I don't really know. I would lean toward keeping it more refrigerated but I know I did not so much when I used this a lot in years gone by.

I mean it's been so long--maybe someone has an old yearbook and can look up what Wilton recommends.
