Step-by-step recipe


Step 1 - ⌛ 10 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 1
Leave 2 sheets gelatin to soak in cold water for 10 minutes.

Step 2 - ⌛ 10 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 2
Prepare the custard (coffee-flavoured version here) and as soon as it's ready, add the drained gelatin all at once.

Mix well until dissolved.

Step 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 3
If possible, use a blender briefly to disperse the gelatin thoroughly.

Step 4 - ⌛ 10 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 4
Sit the saucepan in cold water and put an electronic thermometer into the custard. Stir from time to time until the temperature goes down to 80°F (25°C).

Step 5
Bavaroise cream : Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare 350 g Chantilly cream.

Step 6 - ⌛ 1 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 6
When the custard and gelatin mixture is at the right temperature, add 1/4 of the whipped cream to the saucepan.

Step 7 - ⌛ 3 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 7
Mix well using a soft spatula to loosen the custard.

Step 8 - ⌛ 1 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 8
Tip the contents of the saucepan into the rest of the cream...

Step 9 - ⌛ 4 min.
Bavaroise cream : Step 9
...and fold together gently, still with the soft spatula (avoid using a whisk, which will cause the cream to "fall") until evenly mixed.

Your bavaroise cream is ready.

Use without delay (divide out into moulds, pipe, etc.), as the bavaroise will start to set and become firmer as soon as the cold cream is added.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
