TeriM Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I made pumpkin cheesecake on Wed & when I unmolded & started to cut it last night it just fell apart.... what could have caused it? Here's my recipe..Avocado Oil 4 oz. Cocoa Butter 2 oz. Coconut Oil 10 oz. Olive Oil 12 oz. palm Oil 6 oz. Palm kernel 4 oz. Rice Bran 6 oz. Shea Butter 4 oz I didn't have Palm kernel so I used Apricot Kernel instead...... HELP !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 What method did you use... cp/hp? When you say "fell apart" - what was the consistancy like? Was it like butter, or crackers (crumbly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeriM Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I did CP - it wasn't like butter... not as crumbly as crackers... but when I put the knife in to cut... it split down the middle... I just chunked it up...I can rebatch this can't I... it smells so good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 As long as you didn't mismeasure anything, I'd suspect the FO just doesn't like to be CPed..You *did* recalculate the lye when you made the PKO - AKO substitution, right? Otherwise you've got too much lye - the SAP value of PKO is .176, of AKO is .139. Just checking, just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeriM Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 yep - recalculated....can I rebatch it... ? maybe use it as chuncks or something in another soap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Sure Teri. Since it was a little crumbly, why not try adding a drizzle of oil when you rebatch? eyep - recalculated....can I rebatch it... ? maybe use it as chuncks or something in another soap?
