Cream Filling

Heat 1 cup of cream in a double boiler

 

Add two vanilla beans and cook until soft.

 

When soft split beans and add the vanilla to the cream (throw away the seed pod).

 

Add saffron threads, 1/8tsp (crushed to make sure the pieces are very small in size).

 

Stir well (wisk)

 

Add 12-18 oz. of white chocolate (very the amount to change the viscosity) to the hot cream.

As of late I've been using 18oz of chocolate, it makes a fairly stiff ganache.

Sounds delish. but..............I neglected to mention that I need a recipe that's lactose free. Sorry, any other offers?

Are you molding your shells? Or were you planning to pipe or scoop them?

Have you tried reducing a puree?

Use goat's milk.  It has no lactose.

Goat's milk contains essentially the same percentage of lactose as cow's milk - so is really only useful to people who are cow's milk protein allergic - not lactose intolerant.

Kerry;

 

You're absolutely right, and I was absolutely wrong.

 

I learned something new today.

 

Cheers and thanks!

I use fruit purees, but they have to be reduced. I use cream and/or butter so I don't have many suggestions for you. I know of some folks who use coconut oil or even vegetable oil, but I have no recipe. Sorry.

Coconut oil sounds a great idea.  Thanks:)

Gita;

You said you were looking for a creamy center.  Have you actually "tasted" goat's milk?  It's consumed world wide more than cow's milk and tastes just fine.

 

Coconut oil will not get you a creamy center - just one that's high in fat.

I've actually had some made from camel's milk - completely unhelpful, i know, but it was actually very, very good.  not entirely practical for you however 8-)
