Fold

Folding is a method whereby a light airy mixture such as whipped egg whites are combined with a heavier mixture such as chocolate custard in a gentle and delicate fashion. To fold properly, the lighter mixture is placed on top of the heavier in a large bowl. With a soft spatula cut spatula through center down to bottom and follow along bottom to side, lift up and over to center. Turn the bowl a quarter turn and repeat the process until the two mixtures are carefully combined.
