- Cook the custard over medium-low heat, scraping the bottom of the pan constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook the custard sauce until it reaches 165u0b0F.to 170u0b0F on an instant read thermometer(Another test method is to dip a metal spoon into the custard. Run your finger down the middle of the custard, and if the trail stays it's ready).
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave.
- Stir the softened gelatin into the custard, whisking until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Whisk the custard into the chocolate. Pour the mixture into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- While the custard is chilling, pour cream into a chilled bowl and beat to soft peaks.
- Oil a mold with almond oil.
- Gently fold the cream into the custard and pour into the oiled mold.
- To serve: Unmold the Bavarian cream a short time before serving. Garnish with your choice , or whipped cream, grated chocolate, orange, raspberries or other fruit.
- Note:The servings will vary; depends on th mold that you use. Times do not include chilling. Times are guesstimated.
- *Be very careful when whisking the milk into the yolks. If you put too much hot liquid too quickly into the yolks, you will have scrambled eggs. Just pour in a small amount at first.
