Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the fluffiest texture, make sure your ingredients are well-chilled before mixing. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer will incorporate more air than mixing by hand, resulting in a lighter, more voluminous fluff. If you find the mixture too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk or plant-based milk to thin it slightly while maintaining the creamy texture.
