Why not just add some Kahlua to your buttercream? Or find a coffee shop that sells DaVinci syrups and pick up some Kahlua coffee syrup (non-alcohol.)

I thought about doing that with m BC... but I was hoping to find something more creamy, less sugary... just something different icon_wink.gif

My plan is to do a rich chocolate cake, chocolate ganache outside, then the filling inside. icon_wink.gif

Doing this for with BC is a good backup plan though. thanks!

I do a great Kahlua mousse that doesn't need refrigeration.

2 cups liquid bettercream
1 small package instant vanilla pudding
1/2 cup kahula flavored sugar free coffee syrup

Put all in mixer with whisk attachent and let it whip until thick and mouse like, holds up gream. Any extra you have can be frozen for later use.

Can you add it to SMBC or IMBC? That is less sugary.

It is easier to brush the cake with the liqueur and add it to the filling too.

Have you ever tried using real kahkua?

I have added Kahlua to SMBC before it worked for me on a few occasions then one time it all separated and looked curdled and no matter what I did it would not mix together properly I am thinking it may of been a temperature thing but I have no idea for sure.

I have never used real Khalua just because I wanted it non-alcoholic and since it wasn't going to be cooked I went with the coffee flavoring.

Kahlua is only 20% alcohol and vanilla is 35%... 70 proof... much higher than any liqueur. You can also reduce the liqueur to cook out even more alcohol, leaving a concentrated flavor.

luvbuttercream I can only get the equivalent of an extract in the frostings. That is why I brush it on the cake. After the flavors meld, you don't realize there is so little in the actual frosting. I have not reduced Kahlua mainly because I use a great espresso powder that tastes great in frostings when it's just sprinkled in. The little dots look like vanilla beans. So coupled with a little Kahlua in the frosting and the espresso powder, plus the brushing, I can get as much as I want in flavor intensity. This method would work for custard bases too, but in those, you can add more liquid. Just add some cornstarch if you want a little insurance.

What is this espresso powder you use?

Did you whip it until it was stiff and then it turned soupy? Sometimes it will separate after a while but just whip it back up again.

I think that recipe only works with the liquid Bettercreme. For some reason it works better to whip the flavorings up with the liquid Bettercreme at the same time. icon_smile.gif

I'm not an expert on Bettercreme. I've always used the liquid but here's a thread on it. Melvira is the Queen of Bettercreme!
