Help!!! Can i use copha for buttercream icing? is there any difference between copha and shortening? ?!
Answers:
As a former chef copha would make ti quite heavy, vegetable shortening and a combo of it, real butter or a butter flavoured margarine like "I can't believe it's not butter" work well, copha will solidify to the point where you will need a chisel to cut the cake and the icing will be to fatty and heavy tasting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Copha is shortening, so yes you can use it!.
Copha, a registered trademark of Peerless, is a form of vegetable fat shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil!. It is 100% fat, at least 98% of which is saturated!. It also contains Soya Bean Lecithin!. It is popular in Australia where it is used in many foods for children, such as chocolate crackles, made from Rice Bubbles, copha, and cocoa powder!.
Copha is only produced in Australia, but there are many suppliers of hydrogenated coconut fat in various forms worldwide!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
