Every time I try to flavor Rich's Bettercreme it gets soooo runny. I am using the prewhipped kind. I filled a cake this past weekend with it, put a thick BC dam and over time the filling started to seap out the sides. Thank goodness it was just for family. Please help! I am about to throw the whole darn bucket of stuff away!
I only use the liquid that I have to whip myself and it never ever gets runny or seeps out the sides. Try whipping your own - great stuff and I use it a lot. I buy both the white and the chocolate. You can freeze the liquid until you are ready to use it.
How much liquid are you adding when you flavor it? Are you folding in any flavoring, or mixing/whipping it? I'm just wondering if it's breaking down some when you are adding your flavoring, you know?
Think whipping cream when it gets overwhipped.
Do you re-chill after adding your flavoring prior to putting it into the cake? Again, just thinking like with real whipped cream.
I use the pre-whipped also, so I've not had this problem, but it seems to me that it must have something to do in the adding/mixing.
Sorry I can't be more help!
When you added the flavor to the bettercreme, did you stir it in or beat it in? Depending on the thickness of the flavor addition (thin like a liqueur or thick like pudding), I have to actually put it into the mixer bowl and whip it for a short time (like less than a minute)...with pudding, I can just stir it in though.
Now I just called my supplier of this product and asked what I was doing wrong with colouring this as it goes runny all the time and I can't whip it back into shape. He said he has never come across someone who has been unable to whip it up once you put colouring in it. BTW I put the gel paste in it. So this post is a timely one for me.
Any suggestions to this would be appreciated. I use the one that is frozen and you defrost it and whip it to use.
Aah there you go, it was too cold. I had it in the fridge thawing and brought it out to whip it straight away. Hmmm, that may have been my problem. Shall look into that. Thanks.
It does need to be cold...just I've whipped it before it had completely thawed and although it whipped initially, it didn't remain whipped like it should've...and actually...the consistency when I'd whipped it in it's not-completely-thawed state was somewhat slimey(for lack of a better description)
