    To form a cheesecake, take a split ring or a split mold without a bottom. Place it on a flat plate on which the cheesecake will be served. Lay out the sand crumbs, smooth them out and tamp them very well so that the base holds its shape well. At the same time, try not to let the crumb fall on the walls of the mold. Put the mold with the crumbs in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. I have a mold diameter of 20 cm.

The whipping dishes and the cream themselves should be cold, keep them in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. Beat with a mixer at minimum speed, gradually increasing the speed. How do I know if the cream is whipped enough? The creamy mass should retain its shape and not spread. At this point, stop whipping. Otherwise, the cream will turn into butter.

To make a dish using gelatin work, be sure to pre-soak the gelatin in cold boiled water. The colder the water, the better. Leaf gelatin can simply be put in a bowl of water. Before soaking the powdered gelatin, first rinse the dishes with cold water so that the crystals do not stick to the bottom. It is important to pour powdered gelatin with water, and not pour it into the water. Otherwise, lumps cannot be avoided.
