About Chantifix

Louis Francois Chantifix is a professional whipped cream stabilizer that improves the texture, structure, and shelf life of whipped cream. Made from a simple blend of dextrose and sodium alginate (E401), Chantifix is odourless, tasteless, and easy to use — making it ideal for chefs who want a stable, light whipped cream without altering its flavour or richness.

Sourced from brown seaweed, sodium alginate acts as a natural thickening and emulsifying agent. When added during whipping, Chantifix helps the cream hold its shape longer, improves its mouthfeel, and prevents overwhipping — resulting in consistently smooth, airy cream for piping, layering, and plating.

Use:

How to Use:

1. Pour the whipping cream into the mixing bowl.

2. Begin whipping at low speed.

3. Gradually sprinkle Chantifix into the cream while it whips.

4. Increase speed and whip to desired texture.

Chantifix is suitable for both standard (low-texture) whipping cream and already-textured or high-fat creams.

Differences from Similar Products:

• Compared to supermarket whipped cream stabilizers, which often contain gelatin (an animal-derived product), starches, or artificial thickeners, Chantifix is entirely plant-based and vegan-friendly — made only from sodium alginate (from seaweed) and dextrose (from corn).

• Many commercial stabilizers can leave behind gritty textures or an off-taste. Chantifix is odourless, tasteless, and integrates smoothly, preserving the cream’s natural flavour and texture.

• Unlike some stabilizers that require careful temperature control or additional emulsifiers, Chantifix works reliably across different cream types — even those with varying fat content or additives.

• While other professional options may focus solely on stability, Chantifix also enhances lightness and mouthfeel, making whipped cream more pleasant and airy, not just stiff.

• Designed for chefs, it allows for better control over whipping time, longer hold, and improved resistance to overwhipping, especially useful in hot kitchens, pastry production, or long service times.

Origin:

Sodium alginate extracted from brown seaweed, combined with dextrose to ensure easy dispersion and integration during whipping.
