A classic French dessert that is delicious as exotic as it looks. A vanilla Bavarian Cream also called creme' Bavaria or just Bavarios is a custard based dessert made with vanilla pastry cream as a base. Infused with vanilla or liquor then lighted with fresh whipped cream. A simple, easy yet very impressive dessert that's perfect any time of the year.
Ingredients
Pastry cream
- 1 cup (250 ml) Whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) Whipping cream 32 % or more
- 6 Egg yolks large
- ½ cup (100 g) Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 pod Vanilla Bean or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Plus
- 1 tbsp Gelatin powder
- 1 cup (250 ml) Whipping Cream 38% or more
Instructions
- Soak gelatin in 2 tbsp water - let sit for 5 min.
- Place in microwave for 30 secs until dissolved - keep warm.
- In a saucepan combine sugar, egg yolks, salt and cornstarch with a whisk.
- Gently pour cold milk and cream over whisking constantly to prevent lumps
- Scrape the vanilla bean and add it to the milk
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cooking stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- The custard is done when it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon
- Once the custard is ready, remove from heat and add the melted gelatin mixture. Combine until all the gelatin is dissolved.
- Strain the custard while still warm into a clean bowl to remove any undissolved gelatin or curdled egg
- Cover with cling wrap making sure the plastic touches the top surface to prevent skin.
- When the vanilla pastry cream is cool to the touch (not chilled).
- Whip the cream to soft peaks then fold it into the prepared custard.
- This is now ready to pour in molds
- Pour the mixture into individual serving cup - 5 oz ramekins or similar
- These can be unmolded and served on a plate garnished with whipped cream or fresh fruits.
- I like to serve these in fancy cupa topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit
