Fresh Cream Frosting



Hi friends

Did you know? If you are looking for a non sweet frosting, one of the choice would be using Fresh Cream. What is a fresh cream? Fresh Cream / Heavy Cream / Whipping Cream, basically is a thick, delicious dairy or non product and it makes everything taste better. It suits to make a lot of frosting including chocolate frosting, cream cheese frosting and even stand on its own.

Here in Malaysia, I think I am not the only one who is not really a fan of VERY sweet frosting like American Buttercream. Hence, a fresh cream can be a substitute for a very less sweet cream, fresh and still delicious. Why fresh cream?

- lighter taste of cream
- non sweet frosting
- suitable for elderly people or kids

If you haven't know, there are 2 types of Fresh Cream/ Heavy Cream/ Whipping Cream available in Malaysia:

Dairy Fresh Cream


- Normally use to make ganache
- Uses in cheesecake. (Check out my Raspberry Basque Burnt Cheesecake Recipe!)
- Contains 35% milk fat hence it is not suitable to use as a whipping cream on cake
- Easily melt when expose to room temperature
- Can be whipped and use in cooking instead of baking
- It can turn into a liquid form if over beat
- Store in chiller area in refrigerator

Non- Dairy Fresh Cream



- Normally use to make cake or cupcake frosting
- Can be stabilised using stabiliser agents like cornstarch, gelatin, icing sugar and milk powder
- Can be used as a base for chocolate frosting, cream cheese frosting, and others
- Store in freezer area
- Can be whipped to become twice of it's original volume. For example, if you take 1 cup of Non Dairy Cream to whip, you will get 2 cups of whipped fresh cream.
- A chilled bowl and paddle attachment helps this cream to whip better
- Can last longer in room temperature, provided it is stabilised using one of the agents
- Cake frosted with fresh cream need to be refrigerated
- Suitable to make simple flower shape when it is stabilised well
- Only available in local baking ingredients store

I think that's basically the summary for fresh cream. I personally love fresh cream, and most of my customers request fresh cream if the cake is for kids. It can be a little bit tricky to work with sometime (if you are making it for frosting), however, once you mastered the technique, I am sure you will want to use this cream only! Some of the cake that I use fresh cream base, can stay and survive in car temperature all the way from Kuala Lumpur until Seremban, Ipoh and others.

Raspberry Basque Burnt Cheesecake

Image
Hello friends! I made Basque Burnt Cheesecake but it was not perfect. As I was remaking the cheesecake to refine the recipe, I thought of my mom who LOVE to make us Blueberry Cheesecake during Hari Raya. It was SO GOOD. The cheesecake is creamy, soft and the blueberry was oozing from the inside! I miss the taste! To my delight, I have a raspberry filling that I haven't open yet. So I thought, why not? I could incorporate the raspberry in my basque burnt cheesecake! Honestly I didn't know how it would turn out but I am SO HAPPY that it turn out SO GOOD, you can't possibly stop eating and definitely 1 slice is never enough! This cheesecake is so easy to make, and it bakes on a very high temperature then only you will get it burn on the outside, but still so soft and creamy on the inside, and not to mention, raspberry filling oozing out from the slice! Here's the recipe: Raspberry Basque Burnt Cheesecake Adapted from Taste Australia & Bon Appetite In...

Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake (Baked)

Hey Guys It's been awhile. Apology for the delay, my schedule has been so hectic this past few weeks that I did not have time to bake so much or even scribble in here. On Friday I receive an order from a friend, for a Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake .  I am so happy to receive the order! What can I say, I like new things... hehehhe. I may not have the time to try on new recipes but I could not say no if someone request something new! I started googling for recipes. 90% that I found was a NO BAKE Biscoff cheesecake recipe and all of it just tasted so YUMS just by looking at the ingredients! However since it was my first time baking this cheesecake and I literally have no window for mistakes - I received the order on Friday, and on Saturday, I had a meeting from 8pm until almost 1 am (Sunday) in the morning!! My friend needed the cake before 1pm on Sunday! I fell asleep until dawn only started baking by then. So I've decided to go with a bake cheesecake instead. One of the re...
