Reviews
No changes but too thin
I added abuelita cocoa powder to my mix and less milk and it came out great. My kids love it. Definitely using this recipe again
I love this recipe I did this for Masterchef
Used 1c. of heavy cream and omitted the milk.
Followed the advice of another reviewer and left the milk out and it came out FANTASTIC! Delish!
I tried this and even though it taste delicious, it never would thicken. I also don’t understand the point of the milk or the egg white.
This did not turn out at all. nothing got stiff it just stayed liquid!!!!!!
Very Light and delicious. We put it inside Cream Puffs from this site. Very Good.
out of most people they would like this fod creation.but as for i , i loved it!
Yummy, but I’m not clear on the point of the egg white and milk. If I wanted to end up with something that tasted exactly like whipped cream, I would have just whipped the heavy cream and had done with it with less trouble than this recipe. Final product was was very very soft, light in texture and delicate. It didn’t stand up very well to the 3-hour delay between filling eclairs and serving them.
Sooooo good. It definitely needs to be all cream, no milk, but I had no issues with it being runny. I let it sit in the fridge for about an hour and it got just a shade denser, I guess from falling a little: this was perfect, in my opinion. I used this recipe to fill puffs made from the “Cream Puff I” recipe. I love this!
Made as per the directions. Whipped cream is much better. Why bother with this?
Very good. Try piping them into beignets.
maked plenty..very watery and sweet. leaked out of my cream puffs..next time i would omit milk, add less sugar, and add only a little bit of egg white. thank you for the recipe tho.
I took the advice of the person who suggested replacing the milk with more cream, and this was AWESOME. It was so perfect. I folded in some raspberries that I tossed in sugar, and used this as a filling for a layer cake. I will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks!
Sorry Kit, but this recipe just didn’t do it for me. I followed the directions exactly, and I was a little disappointed. The filling was light, I’ll give you that, but it was also quite runny. HOWEVER… I did not give up on this recipe. Instead, I played with it a bit and prefected it. for a 5-star filling, omit the milk, and use only whipping cream. This way it still stays light, but is thick enough to work with. The modified version is amazing in cream puffs! Thanks Kit for the recipe!
This recipe is fantastic! The former rater who gave it a bad rap clearly did not follow directions. It will be a shame if people pass it up because of it. I used it to fill cream puffs for my husband on our anniversary. Thank you for a great treat.
The cream did not stiffen as expected. In fact, after the addition of the beaten eggs, the cream became rather watery and could not be used at all.
Very Good! I used this in cream puffs for a baby shower and everyone loved it. I made them hours before and they stayed perfect. I added a little extra sugar because I like it really sweet. Thank you!
This is truly a light and creamy filling for cream puffs, and I am proud to give Kit Gay credit for this great addition to my collection. As a single man it is difficult to find a great pastry filling that I can put together quickly for friends here in Massachusetts, and this fits the bill perfectly!
this filling was just great. will use this again for all my pastries
