I'm working on making creamy fillings for plain chocolates. I haven't yet found a recipe that I'm happy with and I don't like the artificial taste of the essences. Any ideas?Continue

Tom replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"I have often thought to give that a try, what fruit concentrates do you use, what gives a good result. I have easy access to apricot and mango, I think apricot might be good."

I generally use the vanilla flavor and often use different frozen fruit concentrates to make a pretty nice truffle. I use the same measurements recommended for creme or…"
Sarah Hart replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"You can use coconut milk in place of cream to make ganache. Infuse it with herbs, or chilies or whatever you want. This makes a good ganache but it does have a coconut flavor."
Paul John Kearins replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"just use real ingredients.... or essential oils? And by creamy fillings what to mean exactly? lactose free? um.... ok.

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

Cheers and thanks!

Kerry replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"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. "
Sebastian replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"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-)"
Brad Churchill replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"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…"
Gita Schurder replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"Coconut oil sounds a great idea. Thanks:)"
Bayla Sussman replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"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."
Gap replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"or coconut cream if you want a coconut/tropical flavour"
Brad Churchill replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"Use goat's milk. It has no lactose."
Gita Schurder replied to Gita Schurder's discussion Cream Filling"molding. One other detail which I neglected to mention is that I have to make this batch lactoser free. Any ideas??"
