Preparation
Did you know that
Bavarian cream is a kind of custard which is thickened with isinglass and, often times, enriched with whipped cream.- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water.
- Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the sugar, raspberries, a whole egg and a yolk. Blend everything with the immersion blender.
- Prepare a bowl of water and ice.
- Bring the saucepan over the heat and melt the softened gelatine sheets in it, continuing to stir. Bring the mixture to 82-84 ° C.
Beware of cooking!
Since there is no starch, the cream tends to go crazy because the yolk proteins tend to coagulate with heat. For this reason, it is important not to exceed 84 ° C.- Once the correct temperature has been reached, remove the saucepan from the heat and filter the mixture to remove the seeds of the raspberries (optional), pouring the cream into a bowl placed inside a container of water and ice. Stir with a whisk for a few minutes for the cream to cool down.
- Once cold, remove the bowl from the water and ice, and gently add the whipped cream.
- Transfer the mixture into a star-shaped mold and place everything in the refrigerator for at least two hours. To speed up the time, let the Bavarian cream cool in the freezer.
- When the Bavarian is firm, gently turn it over. For easy removal, it is recommended to pass a narrow blade knife along the edges and quickly immerse the mold in boiling water.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler. Spread the chocolate on a sheet of baking paper and leave in the fridge for a few moments to harden. Scrape the chocolate strip with a knife to form curls. Decorate the Bavarian with some chocolate curls, some raspberries and a sprinkling of icing sugar.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
For a starry Christmas, here is the beautiful Bavarian cream with raspberries. If you liked the idea, you can propose it to your guests by replacing the raspberries with other fruits such as strawberries. For those with a sweet tooth, I recommend the chocolate flavor instead!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
