Bavarian Cream Recipes

BAVARIAN CREAM

Steps:

• Separate the eggs and place the egg yolks into a medium-sized, heat-resistant mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix with the normal beaters of your electric mixer until very creamy and lighter in color. Then set the bowl aside for now.
• Add the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a small pot and bring it to a boil on the stove. Whisk regularly to keep the bottom from burning.
• Once boiling, remove the milk from the heat and slowly pour it into the bowl with the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly.
• Now, place the heat-resistant mixing bowl with the egg mixture into a hot water bath. The best way to do this is by placing the bowl into a large pot with hot water on the stove with the heat on low. You want the water to simmer, not boil vigorously. Whisk regularly until the egg mixture thickens slightly, then remove it from the heat. This can take up to 10 minutes, so don't give up too early.
• Prepare the gelatin according to package directions and pour it into the warm egg-milk-mixture while whisking consistently.
• Either wait until the mixture cools down to room temperature on its own while whisking regularly or place the mixing bowl into a larger bowl with ice-cold water and whisk regularly while the mixture cools.
• In the meantime, whip the whipping cream until stiff using the normal beaters of your electric mixer.
• Once the egg-milk mixture has cooled down to room temperature and is starting to set/gelatinize, fold in the whipping cream using a spatula. When everything is well mixed, pour or ladle the cream into four small bowls or glasses. Cover them with cling film and place them into the fridge for at least two hours (ideally longer).
• You can garnish the Bavarian cream with fresh fruit and/or a fruit puree before serving. For that, simply blend some fresh fruit (e.g. raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries) in a blender. You might have to add a tiny bit of water if your mixer has trouble. Spread the blended fruit through a sifter if there are any seeds, then place the puree on top of the Bavarian cream.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the gelatin and cold water. Set aside to soften. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until smooth.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Pour the hot milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and pour the custard through a strainer.
• Stir in the softened gelatin and vanilla and stir to melt the gelatin. Allow to cool.
• When the mixture has cooled almost to room temperature, whip the heavy cream to medium stiffness and fold it into the custard. Immediately transfer the Bavarian cream to parfait glasses, molds, or on prepared cake layers, as it will firm up quickly as the gelatin sets. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Steps:

• Put the split vanilla bean in cream and slowly bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 1 hour.
• Remove bean and scrape out seeds, add them to the cream and discard the pod. Sprinkle the gelatin into the milk and set aside.
• Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together. Warm the cream mixture back up and slowly whisk into eggs. Place mixture over simmering water and stir until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooded spoon. Remove from heat and add milk and gelatin mixture.
• Place bowl in ice bath and stir until at room temperature.
• Fold in whipped cream and pour mixture into 6 (6-ounce) ramekins. Place in refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours or until mixture is set. Remove from molds and garnish with strawberries.

ELEGANT COCONUT BAVARIAN CREAM

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and set aside to soften for 10 minutes. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the milk just to the boiling point.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and salt. In a steady stream, pour the hot milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
• Add the softened gelatin to the hot custard and stir until fully dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Toast the coconut on a baking sheet until golden, about 4 minutes, stirring once or twice. (You may use a toaster oven for this step). Transfer to a plate to cool, reserving about 1 tablespoon toasted coconut for garnishing.
• Whip the egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form; gently fold the egg whites into the cooled custard mixture.
• Whip the cream until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold the cream into the custard mixture, along with the toasted coconut. Pour the Bavarian cream into serving glasses and chill for at least three hours before serving. Garnish with the reserved toasted coconut.
