Hi Natasha, I wish to get this to frosting however i’m wondering should you ever attempted or else you think it might attain the same consistency basically melt Wilting Chocolate Melts rather of chocolate? I wish to make yellow frosting, and that i believed that because the chocolate needs to be melted like chocolate, it ought to work. What is your opinion? Reply
Hi Natasha, I haven’t attempted that but It perform. I recommend mixing it in in a tiny batch therefore if it globs up or fails, you wouldn’t have destroyed the entire batch. Reply
Therefore the wilton chocolate melts labored however the color isn't as wealthy when i had wished because of all of the white-colored creams. So a frosting with food coloring added might have offered better for that color goal. Apart from that, I made use of a hands mixer for that heavy whipping cream and also the greatest speed is 5 therefore it required 2 minutes + to obtain stiff peaks. To individuals using the comments about runny frosting. Reply

Normally this frosting should be stiff. Have you use heavy whipping cream as opposed to just whipping cream? It may sound like you may didn’t beat the whipping cream lengthy enough whether it was loose. Did your whipped cream look stiff and spreadable like mine within the photo after i stirred it in? Hopefully helps! Reply
