Bavarian Cream (Crème Bavaroise)

FAQ

Bavarian cream is a dessert served chilled with flavored custard that is mixed with whipped cream and gelatin so that it is stabilized. It is common to serve them in stemmed wine glasses or use a decorative mold to set them in. It is also used to fill in pastries.
Bavarian Cream is made from a Crème Anglaise base (milk, vanilla, egg yolks and sugar), thickened with Gelatine and lightened with Whipped Cream. Pastry Cream (or Crème Pâtissière) is relatively similar to a Crème Anglaise but is thickened on the stove with Cornstarch (or sometimes flour).
A bavarian, also known as bavarian cream or bavaroise, is made of three basic elements: custard sauce (flavored as desired), gelatin, and whipped cream. That's all there is to it. Gelatin is softened in cold liquid, stirred into the hot custard sauce until dissolved, and chilled until almost set.
Bavarian cream involves milk, eggs, sugar, and often vanilla extract, the same as Boston cream. But then the two ingredient lists diverge: Bavarian cream includes heavy cream and gelatin, while Boston cream involves cornstarch.
A Bavarian cream can be flavoured with chocolate, coffee, fruit, or the like and is usually molded in a fancy shape and garnished with fruit or a sweet sauce. Its country of origin is either Bavaria or France.
