I just got a quart of Rich's Bettercreme to try. So now what do I do? I have to whip it? It says that it can only stay in the fridge for 7 days once opened. Can I refreeze it? How much do I use for one cake? Do I just use it for filling?

I know there was a post about bettercreme fun but can't find it right now. Any help is appreciated. So many have raved about it that I am breaking away from my IMBC just to try it.

don't know where the linkis the the thread-but I think that bobwonderbuns hasalink to it in his signature

Yes, you can refreeze the unwhipped portion. I typically use it for filling and to swirl on top of cupcakes...sometimes as is and sometimes mixed with flavorings, cookies or candies. I've never iced a cake with it, but some people do.

Here is the link to the Bettercreme Fun thread.

I have frozen thawed and refrozen about 8 times and haven't noticed any change in the consistency or flavor. I've also frozen already whipped bettercreme and thawed it again and used it with no problems.

Thanks for the info and for the link. Does the cake or cupcakes then have to be refrigerated?

I use that a lot, especially the double chocolate.

It cannot be compared to whipped cream in taste, but in a hot climate like me, it's the only option.

I add Baileys, Khalua, or whatever liqueur is at hand. If you add cream cheese to the vanilla, it's to die for!!!
