Why Use Cream Chargers for Whipped Cream?
– Convenience: Cream chargers allow you to whip cream quickly, without a mixer or whisk.
– Perfect Texture: The nitrous oxide creates a light, airy whipped cream with a professional-looking finish.
– Consistency: The whipped cream made with cream chargers holds its shape for longer, making it ideal for topping cakes and desserts that need to look great over time.
Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake
– Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
– Avoid Over-Baking: Cheesecake should be creamy, so avoid over-baking. The centre should still jiggle slightly when done.
– Chill Before Serving: Let the cheesecake cool completely in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
