If you're still very concerned about being able to taste it, I think that you may possibly be able to substitute it with full-fat ricotta, but I certainly can't vouch for how it will turn out :/ As for the cream in this recipe, it's not as sugary or sweet as the Asian cream frosting used on cakes, but if it's really that much of a desire then you can just add more icing sugar to the cream when you beat it. Cheers, Ellie Hi Shim_ram,

Do you use single or double cream for the filling? Hoping to make it for a baby shower next week :-) This Gateau looks beautiful. Do you use single or double cream for the filling?
