I was thinking of doing this for a cake filling….your thoughts please?
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
Hi Sandee. I would not recommend doing so. You will need something thicker. To do so, you would have to experiment with the ingredients. Perhaps using mascarpone as a substitution for the sour cream could work. However, I have not tested it so if you do try, please let us know how it went. Hope this helps!
