Found this video that explained how to make the "cream" used in brazilian type pies.
According to the translation the ingredients are just the following: 200 ml very cold water 200 grams of sugar 100 grams of emulsifier (type shown in video is "iceberg chef")
Looks nice and thick, and easy to make, gotta try it sometime soon!
"Emulsifier" refers to a wide variety of additives, including guar gum and xanthan gum. We would need to know which emulsifier they are using in this recipe.

The ingredient list for Iceberg Chef emulsifier seems to be a mix of stuff:
It would be super helpful if anyone in the U.S. can suggest an emulsifier that closely matches the Brazilian variety (like "Iceberg Chef").... I've experimented before with xanthan gum and it doesn't give the same results.
The ingredients would suggest it is essentially the same product as featured in the video.
From personal experience it works really well. 125g sugar, 250ml water, and about 20g of emulsifier paste makes a really nice thick, stable foam that stays thick and foamy for hours. Definitely a fun alternative to shaving foam, although I've yet to find a way to make it using a whipping gun or foam generator - it just doesn't seem to work out that way.
No one in the U.S. has any idea if there's an emulsifier similar to the ones in Brazil and the UK?
I found this cake emulsifier in bulk, ingredients seem to match, but it feels a little risky to spend so much on something that might not work: https://www.bakersauthoritys.shop/product/softex-cake-emulsifier-compared-to-tenderex-emulsifier-bakers-authority/

Dream Whip Whipped Topping Mix ingredient list has monostearate and glyceirides so it might be similar:
Ingredients: Water, Mono and Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, with Phosphoric Acid and Sodium Propionate (added as preservatives)
Other Brazilian recipe videos showed other emulsifier brands like "emustab", "portogel", and ""marvi gel plus" being used but havent found their ingredients lists
