Print Recipe

Bavarian cream is a rich, creamy dessert from Bavaria, perfect for special occasions or casual meals, and can be served plain or customized with flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 package (1/4 oz) unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until thickened.
  2. Incorporate Egg Yolks: While heating, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking gently to temper.
  3. Cook Again: Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly for another minute until well blended.
  4. Add Gelatin: Remove from heat and dissolve the gelatin in cold water. Stir into the custard along with vanilla extract.
  5. Cool the Custard: Allow the custard to cool at room temperature before proceeding.
  6. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.
  7. Fold in the Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard to combine without losing air.
  8. Chill and Set: Pour into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

Notes

Serve garnished with fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or toasted nuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
