I am making the Bavarian cream Filling an cannot find Pastry Pride anywhere around where I live icon_cry.gif I was wondering if anyone has ever tried just using heavy whipping cream or maybe cool whip and skip all the whipping process?????

I have done it with heavy cream. The only thing is that it will not hold up as well as the pastry pride and it will have to be refridgerated.

Are you able to get Rich's Bettercreme? From my understanding, it is similiar to Pastry Pride. I get mine at Gordon Food Servies. HTH.

Pastry Pride has a type of gum agent for thickening and stability. If you used whipping cream I think you would have to stableize it with clear gelatin such as Knox brand.

Don't use Cool Whip, it will just break down and get runny, even with the pudding in it.

thanks everyone!!! I ended up just using cool whip because I had to get it done last night and it was all that I had. it turned out pretty well....I just didn't whip it at all. It actually tastes really good. Next time I will try the heavy cream and knox. THANKS! icon_wink.gif

Pastry Pride is a liquid that comes frozen and can be whipped like whipping cream, but it is more stable and tastes very good.
