Looking for ideas for sweet and savoury fillings that are not whipped cream.Another poster mentioned that her Mother did savoury ones but not what she used. When it is "bring a plate" you need to fill a while before they are going to be eaten and some things like lemon curd could make them soggy. Thought of mushroom with very little sauce or cream corn but neither of those are universally popular and the filling won't be seen. For sweet would something like apricot jam with grated chocolate be good!Your ideas would be welcome.I love cream in them but don't want most of it sitting in my fridge and being a temptation. I am looking to to fill about 6-12 ata time. Thank-you.

Perhaps a cream cheese based savoury filling.Blend smoked salmon, or other smoked fish with cream cheese.Tins of smoked mussels are really cheap and would mix well with cream cheese to a piping consistency.Or thin pate with some sour cream.

Canned or smoked salmon and cream cheese, cooked bacon and cream cheese, custard with passion fruit through, custard chopped strawberries etc.

Thick greek yogurt and passionfruit sauce is lovely, so is a mix of whipped cream and thick caramelsauce, for sweet options

Good idea.Crème patisserie doesn't leak the way that whipped cream does and it will hold for several hours without making the pastry soggy.It is also extremely delicious.

Once when I did Chocolate Eclairs to take for a plate and was worried about the cream making the base soggy, I 'painted' the base in melted white chocolate and it worked a treat.

Can't answer your question.
I do tarts . Neenish tarts keep well Tarts with lemon curd go soft. Not quickly, but soft enough to notice it when eaten for the breakfast the following morning

What about a seafood chowder.
My friend purchases one from wishbone which is very nice.
She uses it to fill vol u vonts (sp)

Nice with a mexican type mince mix - fill puffs, then top with cheese and pop into the oven to melt the cheese and warm slightly - only slightly.
