FAQS

  1. What is the best way to store Romany Creams to keep them fresh?

    To keep your Romany Creams fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week. If you want to extend their shelf life, you can refrigerate them, but make sure to let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

  2. Can I make Romany Creams gluten-free?

    Yes, you can make gluten-free Romany Creams by substituting the cake flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that all other ingredients, especially the baking powder and chocolate, are gluten-free as well.

  3. What can I use as a substitute for butter in Romany Creams?

    If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine or coconut oil. Both will work well in creating a similar texture and flavor in your Romany Creams.

  4. What are some good pairing suggestions for Romany Creams?

    Romany Creams pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee. You can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. For a festive touch, consider pairing them with a sweet dessert wine.

  5. How can I adjust the sweetness of Romany Creams?

    If you prefer less sweetness in your Romany Creams, you can reduce the amount of icing or caster sugar by about 25%. Alternatively, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol, but be sure to check the conversion ratios for the best results.
