- 5 x Egg yolks
- 3/4 c. Sugar
- 1 3/4 c. Lowfat milk Vanilla essence
- Prepare 1 day ahead of serving.
- Serves 10
- To make the bavarois: beat the egg yolks with sugar.
- Bring the lowfat milk to the boil, pour a little into the yolks, mixing well, and pour it back int the saucepan.
- Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, till the custard coats the back of the spoon.
- Strain into a bowl and add in vanilla essence to taste.
- Dissolve the gelatine in a little water and add in it to the mix, stirring well.
- Beat in the chestnut puree.
- Set the mix aside to cold thoroughly.
- Mix in the cream with a large balloon whisk.
- Lightly oil a pretty mould and pour in the bavarois.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
- To prepare the garnish: place the chocolate in a bowl set over warm water.
- Let the chocolate just heat and stir it well to avoid melting the nougat in the chocolate.
- Dip the marrons in the chocolate and place them on a cake cooler to harden.
- Store the marrons in an airtight container.
- To make the creme anglaise: beat the egg yolks with sugar.
- Bring the lowfat milk to the boil and pour a little into the yolks, mixing well.
- Pour the mix back into the saucepan and cook slowly till the custard coats the back of a spoon.
- Strain into a bowl and leave to cold.
- Add in vanilla essence to taste.
- Cover and chill.
- To serve: turn the bavarois out onto a flat serving plate.
- Spoon creme anglaise around it, and garnish with chocolate coated marron glaces.
- My notes: you could make it more heady by flavouring the creme anglaise with rum instead of vanilla and perhaps use some thin chocolate sauce to make a nice butterflied pattern through the creme anglaise on the plate.
- Looks very elegant.
