003 Bavarian Cream

Ingredients (for 4 ppl):

• 200 ml milk
• 1 vanilla bean
• 3 egg yolks
• 40 g sugar
• 200 ml cream
• 4 leafs of gelatine.
• 250 g raspberries
• sugar

Scrap out the vanilla from the vanilla bean and put it with milk on the stove and boil it brief. The rest of the vanilla bean you can put in some sugar to make vanilla sugar for some other recipes.

Then you mix egg yolks with sugar. Put half the milk to it and stir till it is smooth. Mix it with the rest of milk and put it back on the stove at medium heat, it should not get warmer than 85°C or the egg will flocculate.

Pour it through a sieve and add wringed gelatin (put the leafs in cold water so they get flappy). Now let it cool over ice water, but before it firms, stir in whipped cream.

Then put it in the fridge for several hours.

Shortly before serving prepare the raspberry sauce. Put 200 g raspberries and a little sugar in a pot and heat it. Sieve the mixture.

Serve the Bavarian Cream with some raspberries and drip some sauce on and around it.
