My first two batches were soggy after storing in ziplocks. With my last batch I let them cool on rack for 2 hours then I placed them in a brown paper sack in the fridge (stood them up side by side instead of laying flat). The next day they were not mushy or moist at all. I couldn't handle that wet feeling.

I made 4 batches today. I made them altogether, and the oopsie rolls waiting to bake did not fall at all. I did find that I like them better, drier, at 300 degress for 40 minutes.

Soobe, did you mix all 4 batches at once, 12 egg whites in one bowl and 12 egg yolks in the other bowl? Or did you mix each batch separately?

Man, I can't even mix a double batch together evenly and you mixed a quadruple batch?!!!!
I wouldn't even think that 12 egg whites would all fit in one bowl after they're whipped up. You must use a HUMONGOUS bowl for the whites! ![]() Got any tips? |

I just wanted to say that this thread has over 15,000 page views.
That's a lot of bun-lookers. mac-- I tried rolls and wasn't terribly happy with them. I ended up with delicious popovers, but not rolls! You could try it and see what you thought-- just use enough to make 4 buns, and try to make rolls with the rest of the batter. |

My KitchenAid will whip 12 egg whites at once. I have done it before for an angel food cake. I have only done double batches of the oopsies so far and they mixed up just fine. I might have to try the quad-batch next time. Last edited by shadowzip; 01-22-2008 at 04:36 PM.. |

I'm so jealous. Us mere mortals in the kitchen with our regular little hand mixers would have a lot tougher time whipping up 12 egg whites at once! |

Guess what, I figured out why I couldn't evenly mix up my double batch yesterday. I used 6 whites and 6 yolks but forget to double the cream cheese and only used 3 oz of cream cheese. DUH!
I'm surprised they came out as good as they did. Today I made a double batch but used the right amount of cream cheese and they were just fine! |

Dudette, I do better with my hand mixer than the Kitchenaid. I think it's because the Kitchenaid bowl is so deep that is causes me issues when I try to fold in the egg yolk mixture.
LOL. Sounds like you tried to make your own, new oopsie of an oopsie! |

Good Morning,
I made some this past weekend and they came out looking beautiful and golden brown!! However, for me, that spongy texture thing is going to take some getting used to. I had one with sweetened cream cheese and cinnamon this morning. That was good! with my coffee, just like having a danish. Dreamchaser.... Quote:
![]() Plus, variations are all over the Internet. I even found one on Linda Sue's that used the 3 ounces of cream cheese but with an extra egg white. I wonder how that would do with an extra white. I have to admit, I am not crazy about all the work and clean up involved in these. But, carry on everyone. Lots of great brainstorming going on here. That is how new recipes are born! |

What I like best about this recipe is that for the price(nutrition wise) of eggs and cream cheese you get a bread or Danish. No guilt. I eat an entire batch at a time for breakfast!

No Bragging here, If I wanted to brag I would have told you I whipped them up by hand. ![]() ![]() I highly recommend saving your pennies to get a Kitchen Aid no matter how long it takes. I have had mine since 1983. With only a couple of minor repairs($2.99 each), That was replacing the brushes after I overloaded it with 3 batches of cookie dough at once. My husband repaired it for me. I really put it through the ringer too. My cousin once told someone that everytime she was at my house I had that Kitchen Aid humming![]() I am impressed with you doing A double batch with a hand mixer |

Is your Kitchen Aid very noisy? I just bought mine last fall at Costco and I find it very noisy. Not that I mind when I can pour half a container of egg whites in it. Yesterday for the first time I put it up to 10 power and those whites were so stiff it was scary.

Twinkie?
Last night I was craving something sweet and had nothing in the house that wouldnt sabotage my woe. I started nibbling on one of the flatter "failures" from earlier trials and the taste reminded me of a twinkie! It was soft, spongy and sweet. So I took Ready Whip and made a line down the center of one and rolled it up, tasted pretty darn close to a twinkie! Not bad for about 2 carbs.

OK.........these are beginning to grow on me!!!
I just made the last two into a bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast!! OMG.......never would I have thought.......Delicious and hit the spot!! I am gonna make more this weekend. Oh, and mine came out picture perfect. Storing them in the fridge in a baggie. They did get a little soggy. I let them sit out like you said, and voila!! It worked. Next time, I will put a paper towel between them or something. I am getting used to the spongy texture now also. So, my advice is to just keep trying. I do wish they were a little easier to make though. BUT...all Good Things Take Work!!! |

Pamk, you are a genuius. I ran right downstairs to my fridge, grabbed an oopsie roll, sprayed whipped cream down the middle, and ate it. Delicious. Very much like a Twinkie. I can't believe how good it is. I always make my oopsies extra sweet anyway, because I am a sweetaholic. Once the oopsies are made, this will be a terrific quick snack or dessert for those impulsive minutes when you HAVE to have something sweet. Thanks Cleochatra for the recipe and PamK for the Twinkie.

Here is something else I made last night (and thank you for the continued feedback, Soobee, NoSugarGrams and pam!)
These are better than real cream puffs. I'm serious! Knife and fork and delicious. ![]() Revoloopsie Cream Puffs You'll need: 2 revolooopsie rolls Sugar-Free/ Fat free Cook and Serve Jell-o pudding High-fat milk Whipping cream 2 packets Splenda Make the pudding according to box instructions, using full-fat milk in place of the fat-free milk. Next, mix the whipping cream with Splenda until stiff peaks form. Place both in the refrigerator until the pudding sets up just enough to where it is still warm, but solid. On a plate, place a Revoloopsie roll. Place a dollop of chocolate (or other flavor) on the roll. Top with a second roll, and place a dollop of whipped cream on top of this. If desired, garnish with sliced strawberries. Net carbs is 8 grams for slightly less than a quarter cup of pudding, less if you use less. This recipe is not induction-friendly, unless whipping cream is the only item used, and even then, make sure amounts fall within acceptable induction limits.

If I didn't know better I'd think you were pushing these for profit! I logged in and the first thing I saw was that huge picture of your cream puff! ![]() I'm eating a BLT on an oopsie for breakfast, along with one oopsie with bacon, tomato and melted cheese on top. YUM! I was just gonna have one of them, but couldn't make up my mind! ![]() |
