White Chocolate Guinness Filling

Hands down one of the best fillings out there! Smooth Godiva white chocolate with the subtle taste of Guinness.

St Patrick's Day 2020

It's that time of year! The time where all the Irish and even non Irish folk gather around to drink and be merry with one another. What better drink to celebrate St. Paddy's day with than a good ole Guinness? When I visited Ireland 6 years ago I was certified in crafting "The perfect pint of Guinness". Which is really a fun way of saying I watched someone pour Guinness on draft, then I poured one that was deemed correct, and they gave me a certificate for it. It was such a fun experience though, and I recommend anyone who visits Dublin to go to the Guinness factory and pour yourself the perfect pint!


Best. Filling. EVER

This has to be one of my all time favorite fillings that I have ever made! The white chocolate and Guinness pair so well together that I could literally just eat this on it's own. Godiva makes a truly scrumptious white chocolate pudding that has beautiful flecks of vanilla bean throughout. The filling is smooth but stable enough to fill a cake with and not have to worry about your layers potentially sliding. If you're familiar with stacking cakes you know the all important struggle of making sure you don't have a thin or sauce'like filling that could cause potential cake destruction. When I first started making cakes I used any filling that I thought tasted good, but did not necessarily think about the stability of my cake. I cant tell you how many cakes I have had that have had filling bust out of the sides or layers shifting about. Its so important to not only make sure your filling tastes delicious, but will be able to hold the cake layers that are going to be set on top of it. I love to create fillings by using pudding mixes because A) they are super easy,  B) they are seriously so yummy, and C) they are ultra stable!


Ingredients

 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Box of Godiva White Chocolate Pudding Mix ( 3.9 oz )

5 TBS Guinness



Instructions

Step 1: Using a medium size bowl and a hand mixer whip your heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 2 minutes).

Step 2: Add in your pudding mix and whip together until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure that everything is even throughout.

Step 3: Add your Guinness 1 TBS at a time, whipping with your hand mixer after each addition. Give a small stir with your spoon to get rid of any air bubbles.



**Store in your fridge for up to 5 days or begin filling your cakes or cupcakes immediately.**
