By recipe

Super easy and yummy filling! Has great variations including adding 1/4 c chopped chocolate covered espresso beans or 1/4 c toffee bits. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (I used 2 packets of Starbucks VIA)
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water in small cup. Let stand to soften, about 5 minutes. Combine sugar, cornstarch, espresso powder and salt in medium-size saucepan. Whisk in milk and egg yolks. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring, until very thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in softened gelatin, butter and vanilla. Scrape into small bowl; place in larger bowl of ice water. Let stand, whisking frequently, until well chilled, about 5 minutes.

Would using this filling require the cake to be refridgerated right up to serving time? And what flavor cake would this be best suited for-chocolate?

I have the same questions as Sandy...Would using this filling require the cake to be refridgerated right up to serving time? And what flavor cake would this be best suited for-chocolate?

I can't wait to try this. I just purchased the mocha/coffee fondant from Fondarific and this would be perfect to fill my cake with.

Makes about 2 cups and don't quote me on this....but I think it needs to be refrigerated. It is like a custard, so I'm sure you could keep it out for a while w/o damage, but it would probably be best served straight from the fridge.

I did bring a cake in to my office with this filling, and our fridge wasn't large enough for the cake holder, so I left it out and it tasted fine and didn't lose it's form....

Sounds great. I would like to try this. Do you just put this filling in between layers and then cover with buttercream then fondant?
