Hazelnut Cream Filling image

I use this recipe to fill my chocolate crepes, but this would be a delicious filling for cakes or cream puffs as well.

Time 1m

Yield 8 cups, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup heavy cream
6 large egg whites
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups unsalted butter, cut into pieces, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup hazelnut cream

Steps:

  • Put cream into mixing bowl and mix on high until soft peaks form, about 4 minute Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Whisk egg whites and sugar in a bowl while in a pan of boiling water and temp reaches 160 deg(this helps the sugar fully dissolve).
  • Attach bowl to mixer with the whisk attachment; beat on high speed until slightly cooled and stiff peaks form (but not dry), about 5 minutes.
  • Switch from whisk attachment to paddle attachment. Set on medium and add butter, several pieces at a time, mixing well after each addition (meringue will deflate slightly as butter is added). Add vanilla, hazelnut cream (you can add 1 tsp hazelnut syrup **not extract** to the "1/3 cup heavy cream", if you cannot find hazelnut cream), salt; mix until mixture comes together.
  • Fold in the whipped cream that has been put aside in the fridge.
  • Fill your favourite pastry.
  • This saves well, refrigerated, but will firm up. Best to let it come to room temperature when using later.
  • Time includes the time it takes for whipped cream to set up in the fridge.
