Tips for cooking

The temperature of the hot water used for gelatin depends on your manufacturer, so please check it and follow the usage instructions. Please be careful not to boil the gelatin as it will not set. Also, please be aware that fruits such as raw pineapple, kiwi and papaya containing protease may not be set. If you don't have whipping cream (heavy cream), you can also add 220ml (3/4 cup + 3 Tbs) of milk instead of heavy cream. If you boil the milk, it may separate, so be careful with the heat level. When you serve it in cups, strain it with a tea strainer to smooth the texture. Heating conditions may vary depending on the type of microwave, the type of heat-resistant container, and the condition of the ingredients. Please check the condition and adjust the heating time as necessary.
