Folding sounds fancy, but it’s actually just a technique to gently mix ingredients together. It’s used when you want to keep air within the recipe. The Just A Pinch Test Kitchen shows how to fold ingredients using whipped cream and chocolate pudding.
Step 1. Using a spatula, scoop whipped cream on top of pudding.
Step 2. Then scoop pudding from bottom and fold over top of whipped cream.
Step 3. Repeat gently until all the whipped cream is incorporated into the pudding.
