    Hey Ann,
    can I place the Chantilly cream in the freezer longer? I cant imagine putting it in the freeze, would it work when i put it in the fridge for a longer time?

    hi Ann,

    Can you use anything instead of the egg??

    • Hi Anna, you can try swapping the yolk for 1/2 tsp chick pea flour, 1/2 a tsp of flax seed meal and 1/2 teaspoon of water. It will have a slightly different texture and taste.

  7. could you make the biscuit chocolate just by substituting in some cocoa powder? if so, how much?

    • G’day grace, try taking out 20g of the flour and adding in 20g of cocoa powder ?

  8. Hi Ann!
    I was whipping the chantilly cream by hand to make it pipable and it split. why is this happending?
    :

    • Hi Remeiel, This means it was overwhipped.

  9. Hi, for the chantille cream, what sugar did you use? Normal white sugar?

    • Hi Mohammad, Ann usually uses caster sugar, which is a lot finer than normal table sugar.

  10. Hey Ann
    I’m a vegetarian. What should I use as a substitute for egg?
