Hi all the bakers out there!

Is there any product in Canada that can be used to substitute Orley Whip in recipes, I am trying to convert my Pepermint Crisp Tart to canadianism!

Thank you
Hester

I am no baker, but I have used Cool Whip in place of Orly whip. It is not quite the same, but does the job adequately.

Hi Hester

Ek weet presies waarvan jy praat... ek het al moed opgegee om ooit 'n peppermint crisp tert hier te maak. Ek kry nie die volgende in die hande nie:

Tennisbeskuitjies
Peppermint sjokolade
Orley whip
Caramelized kondensmelk

Ja, daar is substitutes. BV jy kan Peppermint flavored sjokolade kry - maar dis nie dieselfde as die sjokolade met die peppermint stukkies nie!

Cool whip kan miskien gebruik word vir Orley whip?? Ek weet n ie.

Caramelized kondensmelk. Dit kry ek nerens in die hande nie. Ek weet dit is net gekookte kondensmelk, maar al die blikkies kondensmelk wat ek in die hande kan kry het hierdie 'easy open' blikkies wat 'n mens nie kan kook nie.

Die tennisbeskuitjies - ek het nog geen gelyke hier gevind nie, alhoewel ek die ander dag by die SA winkel beskuitjies gekry het.

Ek dink jou beste kans om hierdie te maak is maar om na die SA winkel toe te gaan!!

Laat weet my as jy 'n substitute vind vir tennisbeskuitjies, asb!

It's easy to boil condensed milk in Canada. Cover the tins with cold water (in a saucepan ), heat, and boil at low temperature for 2¼ hours. I usually cook two or three tins at a time and save the rest for later. Just keep them covered with water. (continue to add boiled water).

I substitute the tennis biscuits with graham crackers.

Look in the baking needs aisle at supermarkets for an Orley-whip substitute. Unfortunately I used the last of mine and can't remember the brand name. I think it's called dessert topping and comes in a box which contains three or four envelopes of the stuff. Add some milk and beat it till stiff. It's sweetened, unfortunately. I wonder if plain whipping cream won't do.

Aero makes a nice tasting peppermint chcolate which is an acceptable subsitute for peppermint crisp.

Peppermint Crisp tart is one of our favourite family treats. I boil 2 - 3 tins of condensmilk (like Cathy K) and keep the tins I don't use in the fridge. Tennis biscuits and peppermint crisp I buy at the SA shop. I use 250ml of normal whipping cream instead of orly whip - net so lekker!

I have found some German biscuits that I have used in the place of tennis biscuits. They are called Leibniz butter biscuits and come in a long, rectangular yellow packet. They don't have the coconut taste like Tennis biscuits but are a good substitute.

Mmm... time to boil some condensmilk

Thank you Cathy & Jean! I'll try this!

Jean, it's not necessary to keep you cooked condensed milk in the fridge (except after you opened them).

You're welcome, Marli.

I come from a long line of boervroue who believe that nothing is impossible. I made delicious chutney and apricot jam from dried apricots in Canada. Heck, I even have a quite respectable recipe for zucchinni chutney. My home-made waatlemoenkonfyt was made with watermelons bought at Superstore.

We fortunately have no shortage of fig trees on Vancouver Island, so we still enjoy home-made fig jam here.

I adapted my own bread recipe for the breadmachine and learned to make selfraising flour as a substitute for the salty Canadian brands.

Wenresepte's "troepiekoekies" have undergone a Canadian makeover with the addition of choc-chips and nuts. Jan Smuts tertjies are nowadays filled with strawberry jam.

And when the yearning for koesisters become too much, but the time is limited, I make small vetkoek and dunk them in leftover koeksister syrup.

Another orley-whip substitute that I have used on the advice of a Canadian who knows orley-whip, is Nutriwhip. It is in a carton and I found it in the fridges near the sour cream and cream in a spray can. i have used it and it is OK but not the same as the real thing. I also use graham crackers

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I would certainly try out some of them!

I purchase condense milk in Canada from Food Basics in their import section which is mostly in and amoung their Asian food stuff

Hi Sus (Hester)!

Sies tog, moet die 'cravings' weet wat jou beetkry. (vir die wat nie weet, kleinding oppad! -so oor 11 dae van vandag) Aangesien ek nog hier in SA sit, kan ek altyd die bestandeletjies vir jou koop (the real thing) en aanpos, maar teen die tyd wat dit in Kanada aankom, is jou craving al oor (en gebore!)

-En nou gaan ek dit seker hoor van sus Hes, se kant af -sy's maar die ingetoee tipe. Maar sies tog as haar ousus, voel ek so jammer vir haar, eersteling oppad en omdat hulle maar eers in April in Kanada aangekom het, het sy nog net 'n handjie vol vriende, met die res van die familie nog almal in SA. Sien hulle darem volgende maand -kan nie meer wag!

Mooi bly
Magda

Jinne Hester, en jy sê niks!

As ek nader was, het ek sowaar sommer vir jou 'n tert gemaak! Ek weet hoe kan sulke belustighede 'n mens baasraak.

Sterkte vir die volgende twee weke en ons almal wil natuurlik sien hoe die nuwe Kanadesie lyk.

Hi Cathy

Ek en my man is nie verniet fotograwe van beroep nie, sodra die eerste foto van die pienk voetjies geneem is, sal ek die spog werk doen! -my babies is altwee al tieners, so ons gaan weer lekker pop speel met die nuwe laaitie!
