💡 Tips for Best Results
- Use cold heavy cream: This helps it whip faster and hold its shape better.
- Chill long enough: The longer the cheesecakes rest in the fridge, the firmer and creamier they become.
- Don’t overpack the crust: Press firmly but gently to avoid cracking when removing or serving.
