Any Home Bakers Here?

Hey there. I don't usually post here but I need ideas. I'm baking for a local contest. I am thinking about making craquelin cream puffs. However, the food will be outside in 90 degrees. I need a filing that will hold up in the heat. Any ideas?

OK, try something called diplomat cream. It’s a cream that’s made by combining whipping cream and pastry cream. It can be reinforced with gelatin, so it can resist melting.

Stabilized whipped cream a little cornstarch will keep it from melting.

I looked these up. Wow, they look tasty! No ideas on the filling, though. Please let us know how it goes.

There's a dairy free whipped topping that's made with tapioca, and it doesn't melt as quickly as whipped cream. It's called Truwhip (truwhip.com) and it's good.
