Mock cream

Mock cream is a versatile alternative to traditional dairy cream, often used in various desserts and baking recipes. It's easy to make and requires only a few basic ingredients. This recipe will guide you through the process of creating a smooth and creamy mock cream that can be used immediately or stored for later use.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup sugar
130g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g
1 tsp gelatin powder
5g
2/3 cup butter
150g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of milk (1% fat). Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom (absorb the liquid).
2. Dissolve the Gelatin:
- After the gelatin has bloomed, heat the mixture in a microwave or over a double boiler just until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Be careful not to overheat.
- Set aside and let it cool slightly while you prepare the next steps.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, add 2/3 cup of softened butter and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure even mixing.
4. Incorporate the Gelatin Mixture:
- With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the cooled gelatin mixture. Mix until fully combined.
5. Add Vanilla Extract:
- Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue to beat on medium speed until everything is well incorporated.

6. Adjust Consistency:
- If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a small amount of additional milk (a teaspoon at a time) until the desired consistency is achieved. Conversely, if the mixture is too runny, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until it firms up slightly, then re-whip.
7. Serve or Store:
- The mock cream is now ready to use. It works perfectly as a frosting for cakes, filling for pastries, or as a topping for desserts.
- If not using immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, allow it to come to room temperature and give it a quick stir or re-whip, if necessary.

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before starting to ensure it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.

- If you prefer a lighter texture, you can whip the mock cream with an electric mixer for a few extra minutes.

- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor if you find the cream too sweet.

- Store any unused mock cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

- To make the mock cream fluffier, refrigerate it for about an hour and then whip it again before use.

Once you've completed these steps, you should have a delicious and creamy mock cream that can be used as a substitute in any recipe calling for traditional cream. Whether you're frosting a cake or adding a touch of richness to a dessert, this mock cream is sure to enhance your culinary creations. Enjoy!
