Keep chantilly cream in the fridge

If it is necessary to advance the process of preparing a cake or have the chantilly cream ready for when it is needed, it can be refrigerated for a few days without problem.

To refrigerate the chantilly cream, you must do the following:

Step 1: Use an airtight container.

The container should be completely dry and free of grease. Any presence of liquid or grease could reduce the shelf life.

Step 2: Pour the chantilly cream inside the container.

Make sure to spread the contents well inside the container so as not to have small areas with air and thus avoid the proliferation of fungi.

Part 3: Wrap with plastic wrap.

If you do not open the container constantly, wrap it with plastic film to prevent moisture or absorbing odor from other foods, which is especially useful if the container is not airtight.

But you can skip this step if the container has a good airtight lid.

Part 4: Store in the coldest area of the fridge.

Place the container with chantilly cream at the bottom of the refrigerator since the temperature is more stable there.

If you follow all the instructions, the chantilly cream will last a week in the fridge.

A nonstick tablecloth may also be helpful.

Small circles are made with the piping bag or the figure you want to freeze.

Step 3: Freeze for a day.

In this way, the chantilly cream will harden.

Step 4: Transfer the frozen pieces of chantilly cream to an airtight bag or container.

So there will be no small pieces of chantilly cream scattered everywhere. The bag or container must be freezer safe.
