Equipment
- hand mixer
- saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup vegetable shortening room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 4 cups confectioners sugar sifted
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder *only for chocolate cream
Instructions
- Make the sugar syrup. In a small saucepan mix together the granulated sugar and water. Set over medium-high heat, and stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture starts to boil.As soon as it starts to boil, immediately remove it from heat and transfer the syrup to a medium-sized mixing boil. Set aside and allow to cool completely. If you want to expedite the cooling process, you can place the mixing bowl in an ice bath.
- After the syrup has completely cooled (about 30-45 minutes), add the vegetable oil and vegetable shortening to the syrup bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat together the syrup, oil, and shortening until everything is smooth and homogenous. Mix in the vanilla and stir to incorporate. If you are using another liquid flavoring agent (caramel, almond, lemon, etc) add it in with the vanilla.
- Working in batches, add the confectioner’s sugar to the mixture ⅓ cup at a time, making sure all of the sugar is fully incorporated before adding more. If you are making the chocolate filling, add the cocoa powder in with the last ⅓ cup of confectioner’s sugar. Once the cream starts to look fluffy and thick, it’s ready. If it gets too thick, add 1 tbsp of water at a time to loosen. Serve and enjoy!
