   Ingredients:

   * 3 tablespoons flour
   * 1/8 teaspoon salt
   * 3/8 cup sugar
   * 1 cup parve creamer
   * 4 egg yolks
   * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

   Makes: 1 1/2 cups.

   Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a saucepan and blend in a little of the cream.
   Place on medium heat and stir constantly.
   Add the rest of the cream and and continue stirring until the mixture reaches the consistency of medium cream sauce.
   Stir a little of the sauce into the egg yolks, then pour egg yolks into the sauce in pan.
   Cook for a few minutes on low heat until thickened.
   Remove from heat, add vanilla and cool quickly.

   If you don't mind milchiks, use real cream

   What about Nutella? Anyone ever try that? For my money, Purim ain't Purim unless the hamantashen filling is prune lekvar to which I have added finely chopped walnuts, lemon juice, and allspice. Otherwise, it is just a triangular cookie.

    I can't use anything with nuts due to allergies in the family. Potsandpans,I'm a little afraid to try something untested and possibly ruin a batch of hamantashen.There must be someone out there who has a tried-and-true recipe for this...

    Here's a tried and true recipe from the OU weekly newsletter:

    DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FILLING (Pareve or Dairy)

    4 ounces dairy or pareve pound or chiffon cake
    3 tablespoons sugar
    3 tablespoons cocoa, sifted
    1 tablespoon butter for dairy, melted (use margarine for pareve)
    1 large egg yolk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
    1 tablespoon orange juice
    1/3 cup chocolate mini chips

    1. Process cake into fine crumbs and mix in sugar and cocoa. Add butter or margarine.

    2. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Add chocolate syrup and juice. Fold in chocolate chips.

    3. Fill hamantaschen or other cookies, strudel or Danish.
