Bavarian Cream
Ingredients
- 5 sheets gelatin
- 1 vanilla bean
- 300 grams milk
- 65 grams granulated sugar
- 55 grams egg yolk
- 350 grams whipping cream, cold
Directions
- Separate gelatin sheets from each other. Soak in ice water for 5-10 minutes.
- Scrape the vanilla pod of the seeds. Set aside.
- In a small pot, add the milk and half the sugar with the vanilla seeds and pod. Bring to a boil.
- Stir remaining sugar and egg yolks. Stir in hot milk. Remove vanilla pod.
- Put mixture back in pot and cook to nappe (coats the back of a spoon). Add to the hydrated (and gently-squeezed-out) gelatin sheets and stir until gelatin has dissolved.
- Strain mixture through a chinois or fine sieve and cool while stirring constantly to 33 degrees Celsius.
- Whisk the cream until thickened (just before soft peaks form). Add half the vanilla sauce and fold over with whisk. Fold in the remainder with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
- Use in Charlotte Russe or other recipe (immediately before gelatin sets).
