How to Make Bavarian Strawberry Cream
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices and the sugar to dissolve.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Gently heat the gelatin mixture in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Add the dissolved gelatin and lemon juice to the macerated strawberries. Stir gently to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the mixture into a fancy mold or a serving dish. If using a mold, ensure it is well-greased.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the Bavarian cream is set.
- Carefully unmold the Bavarian cream onto a serving platter. If using a serving dish, simply chill until set.
- Garnish with fresh lemon and/or orange slices before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
