Incorporate the Whipping Cream

Prepare the Earl Grey Mirror Glaze (Optional)
  1. Steep Earl Grey tea bag in 100ml hot milk for 5 minutes, stir in sugar, and dissolve gelatin in this mixture.
Glaze the Cheesecake

Unmold and Decorate

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for best consistency. Adjust gelatin soaking to ensure proper dissolution.
