Step 1

In a small bowl, soak gelatin in 2 tbsp water - set aside to bloom for 5 min.

Step 2

In a hevy bottom saucepan, combine egg yolks, sugar, salt and cornstarch with a whisk. Scrape the vanilla bean and add it in (or add vanilla bean paste).Pro tip - the mixture will appear dry at first but it will cream as you continue to combine.

Step 3

Gently pour 1/2 cup whipping cream over whisking constantly to prevent lumps, followed by the milk. Pro tip - Make sure to scrape the sides of the pan to get any dry cornstarch pockets.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. The custard is done when it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pro tip - It is important not to rush this process as we want the cornstarch to be cooked otherwise the mixture will thicken but taste starchy.

Step 5

Once the custard is ready, remove from heat and add the soaked gelatin. Combine until all the gelatin is dissolved.Pro tip - The heat in the pastry cream is enough to dissolve the gelatin so no need to place it on heat.

Step 6

Strain the custard into a clean bowl. Cover with cling wrap making sure the plastic touches the top surface to prevent skin. Chill on the counter until room temperature. Pro tip - Straining will remove any undissolved gelatin or curdled egg giving a smooth velvety finish to the bavarian cream.

Step 7

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the remainig whipping cream to soft peaks. Gently fold it into the cooled pastry cream as shown in the video. Pro tip - The pastry cream must be cool to room temperature. If warm, it will melt the whipped cream and you will lose volume.

Step 8

The Bavarian cream is ready to pour into individual serving cup as I have. You can also use 6 x 5 oz ramekins or similar dishes.Pro tip - I like to pour the Bavarian cream in a piping bag (without a tip) this makes it easier to pour and distribute evenly.

Step 9

Transfer the dessert to the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Pro tip - Place the dessert cups on a baking tray lined with a paper towel. The paper towel prevents them from moving and the baking tray makes it easier to move around.

Step 10

Cook the blueberries, sugar, and half the water in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Pro tip - Very high heat will evaporate all the liquid without helping the sugar dissolve, so be patient and cook gently.

Step 11

Combine the cornstarch with the remaining water and add it to the saucepan. Continue to cook stirring constantly. Pro tip - It is important that the cornstarch comes to a boil and the mixture will go from opaque to transparent glossy.

Step 12

The mixture will thicken. Once it coats the back of your spoon, take it off the heat and transfer it to another bowl. Pro tip - For a sauce consitency you can pass it through a sieve. This will remove the skin and fiber.

Step 13

Cook the strawberries, sugar, and half the water in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Pro tip - Very high heat will evaporate all the liquid without helping the sugar dissolve, so be patience and cook gently.

Step 14

Combine the cornstarch with the remaining water and add it to the saucepan. Continue to cook stirring constantly. Pro tip - It is important that the cornstarch comes to a boil and the mixture will go from opaque to transparent glossy.

Step 15

Once the mixture is transparent and glossy take it off the heat. Pour it through a strainer and use a flat spatula to press down as much of the fruit as possible. Cool until ready to use.Pro tip - Straining will remove the skin and fruit fiber giving us a smooth sauce consistency.

Step 16

Microwave - Chop the chocolate into small pieces and transfer to a microwave-safer bowl. Add the whipping cream and melt on high for a minute or more until smooth. Stovetop - Alternatively, you can also boil the cream in a saucepan and pour it over the chocolate. The heat in the cream is enough to melt the chocolate. Stir until smooth.

Step 17

Once chilled, top the Bavarian cream dessert with your favorite topping. Let chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Pro tip - Bavarian cream can also be served on its own without any fruit sauce or chocolate sauce. The vanilla Bavarian cream topped with a swirl of whipped cream is a classic found in many high-end restaurants.
