Cook techniques
Whipping Cream
To achieve a light and fluffy texture, use heavy whipping cream and whip it until stiff peaks form. This provides the airy base for the cheesecake fluff.
Combining Ingredients
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain the lightness. Avoid overmixing to preserve the airy texture.
Chilling
Allow the cheesecake fluff to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld and enhances the overall texture.
