Does anyone know how to make orange/strawberry cream chocolates?

[Maureenswhites]

I know how to make the chocolate shell and I have the right flavourings but the recipes I'm finding for the fondant seem to be using corn syrup which I don't want to use. Any other ideas? Thanks.

You can substitute liquid glucose in place of the corn syrup. Its available in chemists.

Other than that, I have also been looking for a recipe that doesn't have corn syrup in it, with not too much luck.

Thanks wannabe - there must be a better way out there!

In college we use a runny fondant for icing the tops of iced fingers etc. I think that's what I would use. I will ask someone where they get it/how to make it when I am in next week, and post if I find out! :)

Thanks Wannabe!

I use one egg white, whisked till frothy.
Add 350g icing sugar
Food colouring and flavouring
Shape and coat with chocolate.

That's like peppermint creams isn't it! I'm guessing it lasts for ages as it is same mix for royal icing?

I've found another one with just caster sugar and water, seems a bit complicated though I can PM a scan of it if anyone wants it!

Ig you boil a sugar syrup with a little lemon juice added, this inverts (hyrolyses) the sugar which is the basis of the fondant. It's a mixture of glucose and fructose.

From memory, you boil it until a certain stage, allow to cool a little and then start working it on an oiled surface. I've done it twice - the first time it worked really well, and the second, it refused to start to crystallise, and remained clear and decided to run down the back of the work surface.

Could you flavour/colour marzipan?
