Creams for filling Christmas cookies

Caramel cream

  • 80 g of butter
  • 200 ml of whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon of water

Method

  • Place the sugar in a saucepan and slowly dissolve over a very low heat, but do not stir.

  • Finally, carefully add the whipping cream.
  • Allow the mixture to bubble over a low flame for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Coconut cream with white chocolate

What will we need

  • 70 g grated coconut (can also be coconut slices)
