# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is like eating a cloud that decided to become cheesecake
  • Your skeptical friends will never believe this is keto friendly
  • It comes together faster than you can debate ordering takeout
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese will ruin your texture so let it sit on the counter for at least an hour before starting
  • Over beating the heavy cream can turn it into butter so stop as soon as you see those soft peaks form
  • The fluff firms up beautifully in the fridge if you want to make it a few hours ahead
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl for ten minutes before whipping the cream for faster results
  • Use a rubber spatula to fold in any mix ins to keep the texture light and airy
