Double cream. It's best to whip it with a hand whisk because if you use an electric whisk it's east to over whip it. Personally I find whipping cream by hand very therapeutic but then I've always been a bit strange ha ha

can i add colour to it aswell x

whipped cream? tis risky. If you do try it, use paste colour, not liquid and stir it through the cream before you whip it. If you MUST have coloured filling them make a loose white chocolate ganache and colour that.

I use double cream and a tablespoon of icing sugar.
