Yield Makes enough for 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cups heavy cream
3 cups sugar
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
9 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Place cream, sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together cornstarch, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water. Add to cream mixture, bring to a boil, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Place coconut in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coconut is finely chopped. Remove cream mixture from heat and stir in coconut until well combined. Transfer to a large baking dish; let cool.
  • Cover filling with plastic wrap and chill overnight. Just before using, place mixture in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth and creamy, 4 to 5 minutes

I'm allergic to coconut, but I was still able to enjoy this filling. I substituted almond milk and coconut extract, and it turned out great!

I've made this filling several times and it's always been a hit. However, the last time I made it, it was a little too thick. I think I added too much cornstarch.

This filling is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar next time.
