How do I stop Gelcrem Cold going lumpy when I mix it?
For the smoothest result, add it gradually while whisking briskly, or use a hand blender for 20 to 30 seconds so the powder hydrates evenly through the liquid.
Does Gelcrem Cold work in acidic mixtures like citrus or fruit purées?
Yes, it is commonly used in fruit based preparations and can hold its viscosity well in acidic mixtures, which makes it useful for sharp berry layers, lemony sauces and tangy dressings.
Can Gelcrem Cold be frozen and thawed in a dessert without splitting?
It is often described as freeze thaw stable, so it is a good option for creams and purées that you want to portion, freeze, then defrost with the texture still looking neat.
