Abstract
Mesomorphic phases of edible surfactants can advantageously be used in preparing sandwich cookie filler creams and compositions for incorporation therewith to provide for example structuring or fat-replacement. Preferably the mesomorphic phases are present as bulk phases. The mesomorphic phases may also be used in frostings. Preferred mesomorphic phases for filler creams, frostings and other finished foodstuffs include 8% or more nonionic surfactant and/or include 7% or more nonionic surfactant and may be processed through a colloid mill after cooling.
