What is cream powder? Where to buy it?
-
Cream powder, also known as fat powder, is a type of powder that is very soft and smooth, cream-colored, and easily dissolves in water.
-
This powder is often used to replace milk and cream in drinks or baking because, in addition to adding fat, the powder also helps enhance the appealing aroma of the dish.
- You can find cream powder at bakeries or in large supermarkets across the country. Additionally, you can also purchase this powder on e-commerce websites.

Ingredients for Watermelon jelly yogurt Serves 4
Watermelon 1/2 fruit Gelatin 20 gr Yogurt 1 cup (type of your choice) Dried coconut A little Sugar 40 gr
What is gelatin? The difference between gelatin and agar powder
- Gelatin is a colorless protein (sensitive people might detect a slight odor), tasteless, but can be clear or slightly yellow.
- Gelatin comes in two forms: clear sheets and fine yellow powder.
- Gelatin is extracted from collagen found in animal bones and skin, with a rapid gelling ability, while agar powder is extracted from 100% plant-based collagen, especially from red apples and seaweed, with a gelling ability that is many times greater (about 8 times) than that of gelatin.

How to choose fresh and delicious watermelon
- A fresh and delicious watermelon will have a taut, shiny skin, dark green color, and the patterns on the skin should be clear and feel smooth to the touch.
- It is advisable to choose a watermelon with a dry, shriveled, and withered stem; the smaller and deeper the cavity at the tip of the stem, the sweeter the watermelon will be.
- A sweet, juicy watermelon will make a “thump thump” sound when tapped and will have a slight bounce that transmits through the hand.
- Avoid choosing watermelons that are bruised or have an unusual smell.
