Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 large Egg yolks
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the Bavarian cream into serving glasses or molds. Alternatively, use it as a filling for cakes or pastries.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the cream is set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Easy Bavarian Cream!
