You order our beloved Kinderella spread (white chocolate & hazelnut spread FYI) it arrives and the label states Light colour hazelnut Coating Cream. Cue the confusion. We get it. Don’t panic. Let us explain!
Okay, to put it simply, a coating cream is a readymade, fat based spread used in baking to cover, fill or even glaze desserts. So basically, a coating cream is your cookie pies newest best friend.
Here in the UK we know Coating Creams as Spreads. Think Nutella, Kinder, Pistachio (the list goes on…) however, in Europe, specifically Italy and Belgium, spreads are known as Coating Creams. Fun fact incoming! That’s because the spread is used primarily for coating pastries and filling desserts, so the name ‘Coating Cream’ just stuck (makes sense right?)
Is there a difference between Coating Creams and shop bought spreads?
The question lots of people ask us is what’s the difference between our spreads/coating creams and ones you can buy in supermarkets? Well, let us tell you! Aside from the obvious, ours come in 5kg tubs and usually work out cheaper per kg (check out our Instagram for the details!) So that’s a good start!
Our spreads/coating creams are also built for baking, they hold their texture during and after baking, making your cookie pies outrageously delicious! Compared to shop bought ones which can become oily or even split during baking and in some cases, they might not even set. Absolute nightmare. Not to mention ours don’t disappear into the dough and they add a rich, indulgent flavour to every bake! Basically, our filling is the difference between a good cookie pie and a next level one… bold statement we know! Check them out for yourself here!
If you’ve ever seen a cookie pie cut open showing that perfect layering with a crisp slice, then chances are it contains a coating cream or Cocoa King spread filling (we said what we said, we’re very confident in our products!)
