Something like this? http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/recipe/custard-buttercream
I've made this recipe 3 or 4 times. It's to die for but really labor intensive so I don't make it very often.
I bet you could make a fake one...I've made fake custard filling using a recipe with vanilla pudding and honey and almond which give it that "custardy" flavor.
On the back of the Dream Whip box there is a recipe for a "frosting" which consists of pudding mix and dream whip...i bet you could make that and add honey and almond flavor and make a custard flavored whipped icing that would be totally delicious.
Custard:
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 vanilla bean
4 lg egg yolks
1/3 c granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp rum, bourbon, optional
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
Combine the milk and bean and bring to a simmer. Whisk yolks, sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Slowly whisk in some of the milk to temper. Return mixture to pot and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened. Put in a bowl and add liquor and vanilla bean paste. Cover with cellophane touching top. Refrigerate.
I am curious as to how you ar making these cupcakes. My rcipe is a cupcake with no liner, sticky sauce poured on top. Your idea sounds interesting. Please share your idea. Thanks.
