AI am in need of fillings that are shelf stable for a day. I was really wanting to do a raspberry curd but I don't know if it would go bad and I'm looking for other stable filling suggestions as well. TIA

Raspberry curd should be safe at room temperature for a day, due to the high sugar and acid and the low water content of a curd. you could also use fresh raspberries, mixed with your buttercream

No whey! (sorry, I couldn't resist) And I think, say, lemon curd, is not a custard because of the acidity. But I could be wrong, I just wanted to use "whey" in a sentence. :lol:

No, curds have more zing due to higher acidity from way more juice. They are also best eaten as a filling vs stand alone in a pie shell.

AThanks! I was thinking of making a raspberry sauce to be on the safe side. I'll be making it Friday night and be serving it from 2-5 Saturday. :)
