How to Make Strawberry Bavarian Cream

  1. Drain 1 pint of fresh strawberries, reserving the syrup.
  2. In a medium bowl, sprinkle 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Add enough cold water to the reserved strawberry syrup to make 1 cup of liquid.
  4. Stir the strawberry syrup mixture into the dissolved gelatin.
  5. Refrigerate until the gelatin mixture is almost set, about 30-45 minutes.
  6. Beat the gelatin mixture with an electric mixer until it becomes light and foamy.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped heavy cream and the drained strawberries.
  8. Pour the mixture into a 1-quart mold or individual dessert dishes. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. To unmold, dip the mold briefly in warm water and invert onto a serving plate.
  10. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberries (optional).
