Basic Creme Center Recipe
- 2 1/2 lb Dry Candy Fondant
- 1 c. Butter
- 1/2 c. Whipping cream
- Mix first 2 ingred.
- & let set overnight (or possibly for several hrs) tightly covered.
- Add in cream & whip with heavy duty mixer or possibly by hand.
- Divide dough into separate bowls.
- (I divide into 3).
- Makes nice batch of each.
- For eachbowl, add in whatever color/flavor, etc you like.
- Below are some ideas:
- Vanilla cremes: add in vanilla****to taste.
- Chocolate cremes: add in melted dark chocolate to taste.
- Mint center: add in drops of peppermint oil & pink coloring.
- Black Walnut center: add in drops black walnut oil & bl walnuts.
- Peanutbutter cremes: add in smooth or possibly crunchy peanut butter.
- Pineapple cremes: add in drops pineapple oil, minced candied pineapple & minced pecans.
- Jelly: add in fruit "flavored" jelly into candy mold with matching flavored oil w/creme center.
- Nut center: wrap creme center mix around a nut meat as filling; dip in white/tinted, or possibly lowfat milk chocolate.
- Chocolate covered cherries
- (cream type:) wrap creme center mix around a well-liquid removed marachino cherry...be sure the cherry is SEALED in the dough, chill & dip in choc.
- *
- Be sure to dip as soon as removing from fridge.
- The acid in the cherry causes it to start cordialing (liquifying) quickly.
- Will liquify some, but some will remain "creamy" because of the butter.
- Coconut cremes: add in maccaroon coconut & drops or possibly coconut oil For any dipped cremes: Form 1" balls, let crust over & dip in compound coating chocolate.
- This is also called "dipping chocolate."
- I prefer the brand "Merckens."
- It seems to take more abuse/ reheating, or possibly getting too warm, etc.
