Trying to set a glaze for no bake cheesecake
Hi all,
I’m making a no-bake cheesecake for my mum’s birthday, and I’ve been wanting to add a simple vanilla glaze to the top for some extra effect and to make it easier to add some flowers and other decorations to it. The local cheesecake shop often have a simple glaze on their French vanilla cheesecakes, which is where I got the idea from.😅
The glaze I first tried years ago never set enough to be able to just sit on the top of the cake, and dripped all through my cake pan and through my fridge, so I thought about adding gelatin to it to firm it up.
From what I’ve read, gelatin once bloomed turns into a rubbery mass, and is usually added into a hot/ melting mixture to combine it. Since I’m wanting to add it to a no-bake cheesecake which needs to be chilled, what would be the best way to combine the gelatin with the glaze without melting the cheesecake on application?
For reference, the simple glaze takes powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
Any help is much appreciated!
