Ingredients
Scale
For the Strawberry Puree
- 400 g of fresh strawberries
- 50 g of granulated sugar
- 10 ml of lemon juice
For the Custard
- 250 ml of whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 80 g of granulated sugar
- 8 g of gelatine
For the Cream
- 250 ml of fresh liquid cream
For Garnish
- 100 g of whole strawberries
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend strawberries: Blend 400 g of strawberries with 50 g of sugar and the lemon juice until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Soak gelatin and heat milk: Soak the gelatin in cold water. Heat the whole milk in a saucepan.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar: In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 80g of sugar until pale. Pour the hot milk slowly over the egg yolks, stirring constantly, then return to low heat.
- Cook custard and add gelatin: Cook the cream until it reaches 82-85°C (it should coat a spoon without boiling). Remove from the heat and dissolve the squeezed gelatin in the hot cream.
- Cool custard: Let the custard cool to room temperature.
- Whip cream: Whip the fresh liquid cream until firm but not too hard.
- Fold cream into custard and add puree: Gently fold the cream into the custard and add the strawberry puree, mixing with circular movements from the bottom up.
- Chill mixture: Pour the mixture into molds or cups, level the surface and transfer to the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with whole strawberries and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- Allow at least 6 hours chilling time for the Bavarian cream to set properly.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and color.
