Hello everyone!!!

I want to make the bettercreme with instant pudding but the one I have is 24 oz and the recipe says an small package.so my question is how much will be for an small package...also maybe I can mix the bettercreme with chocolate mint chips pudding that I have do you thing this will taste good or should I go for the vanilla pudding...

Please help me..

thank you

I'm sorry, I don't have any answers for you!

thank you..please help me...I also have dulce de leche maybe this will good...I just need to know which one is better and how much shuld I use...thank you

I say try it!...Bettercreme is one of those things that you can go by eye. I never measure with it, I just put whatever I want in it and try until i am satisfy with the flavor. Just try with a small batch first.

thank you Edna I appreciate your help...wich flavor do you think is better with with cake...chocolate mint chip vanilla puding or dulce de leche...thank you so much!!!

Is the weight on the big package double the small package? If it is just measure the big packet in a measuring cup (if you don't have a scale) and figure out what about 1/2 would be. The weight should be on the smaller packet if you have a scale you can just weigh it out to thatweight. If you just eyebal it to 1/2 thoug you will be fine. I wouldn't think it would have to be exact.

thank you the package is 24 oz...I was reading that the small package is 5oz. I am going to do what Edna recommended...

do you think I should go with vanilla flavor or chocolate mint or dulce de leche...

I am asking about the flavor because I just realized that the bettercreme is vanilla flavor so if I put vanilla pudding do you think this will be too much?

thank you for all your help

The flavor of the bettercreme is very subtle, once you make a batch of it, taste it. That's why is such a good base for almost any flavor. Vainilla goes with everything and you can even add some more vainilla to it without messing it up.

As for the flavor, all of them sound good to me. What are you using it for?

Edna

as filling for a white cake...

Anything goes well with white cake. I guess it depends on how bold you want to be.
I love white cake with strawberry mousse..lol..Is basically bettercream with strawberries gel and a few strawberries.
I think the vainilla is a classic flavor that you will never go wrong with.

You can add some almond flavor for an extra kick too.

I never tried White cake with mont chocolate chip, so that is something I can't say how it will taste. I have done it in chocolate cake and is delicious.

As for dulce de leche...who doesn't love it!..

Edna

I'd go with the dulce de leche... I do caramel with vanilla cake all the time... very good.

I've never worked with bettercreme, but I would imagine you can't really screw it up. It's basically just a bunch of emulsifiers... hard to mess that up..

I honestly thought that someone was misspelling buttercream...but then I realized that everyone was using "bettercreme". What is that? I'd love to try it!

Is a non dairy whipped cream. Very stable.

Bettercreme is a non-dairy whipped icing. You buy it in frozen containers and just whip it up when you want to use it. It doesn't require refrigeration. You can add all sort of things to flavor it. You can get it at some cake stores or order it on line. I think so Sam's Clubs sell it, but I don't use it so I am not sure.

Most grocery stores use it on their cakes as their "fancy" icing. I don't care for it, but a lot of people like it. I find it has an odd mouth feel and taste, but that's just me.

Edna... put toasted pecan in caramel icing all the time. You are right... sooooooooo good.

Here's a link to Rich's Bettercreme (and other Rich's products):

It's available in prewhipped Ready To Use buckets at the Sams Club bakeries (have to ask for it). Or in liquid form you whip yourself available at GFS/Gordon Food Service in qt. cartons which look like milk containers (online - Google Rich's Bettercreme).
