Urgent Tuxedo Brownie Cups Help Needed!

[Karen]

I'm in the middle of making the Tuxedo Brownie Cups for my "Bubbles & Truffles" theme show tomorrow. Brownies are baked and ready to go. I "thought" I had white chocolate in my cupboard and I don't! I have every other flavor that you can imagine. Does anybody have a quick fix that I can use in place of white chocolate? I'm wondering if I use vanilla pudding, milk and then whisk in cool whip. This would be in place of white chocolate, milk, cream cheese, powder sugar, etc. Or would/should I add powder sugar to the pudding, milk, and cook whip just to thicken it a little bit? I can't believe I did this!:grumpy: Gggrr.... TIA!

I'd do exactly as the recipe calls...replacing the white choc pudding with vanilla. That's the only way I make it because it's VERY difficult to find white choc pudding in my area.

Thanks Jodi. Just to clarify, you do everything as the recipe states except substitute the vanilla pudding for the white chocolate squares? Am I right?

Thanks a bunch!

I think Jodi misunderstood you, and thought you just wanted to substitute white chocolate flavoured pudding for vanilla flavoured pudding.

I think that you probably need to substitute a different flavour of "chocolate" chip (butterscotch or PB sound good!), but I have never made this recipe myself! I guess if you really want it to be white/vanilla, you could do want you said and doctor up some pudding and throw it in with the cream cheese mixture, at least it would be pretty thick!

Anyone else have a suggestion?

I hope it isn't too late...

You need a different chip in there. The recipe is looking for a certain consistancy for the cream to be piped out and the chips make the difference. I'd go with the pB chips if you have them like Annabel said. I think that would be yummy!

I've made these a few times, always a hit, but make sure you don't over do your cream cheese. It can get soggy/too soft and won't set up right. Can you say DISASTER!!!
