Bavarian cream

What is "bavarian cream"?

Bavarian cream, also known as crème bavaroise, is a rich and creamy dessert that is made from a mixture of custard, whipped cream, and gelatin. The custard is made from egg yolks, sugar, and milk or cream, and is cooked over low heat until it thickens. Gelatin is then added to the custard mixture, which helps the dessert to set. Once the custard has cooled, whipped cream is folded into the mixture to create a light and airy texture. Bavarian cream can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as chocolate, fruit puree, or liqueur. The dessert is often served chilled and can be garnished with fresh fruit or a drizzle of sauce. Bavarian cream is known for its smooth and velvety texture and its rich and indulgent flavor, making it a popular dessert for special occasions and celebrations.
