Method
Here’s the recipe for yogurt Bavarian cream, a tasty dessert that’s easy to make.
First, soak the gelatin in a bowl of cold water to soften it. This way, it will be ready to be added to the other Bavarian ingredients.
You can replace the gelatin with 2 g of agar-agar.
Semi-whip the cream; it doesn’t need to be fully whipped as it would be difficult to mix with the yogurt. Start whipping the cream for a few seconds, and as soon as it begins to thicken slightly, put a couple of tablespoons into a bowl and add the yogurt and sugar to get a fairly fluid mixture.
Combine the rest of the semi-whipped cream in the bowl with the yogurt and cream.
Gently mix from top to bottom to not deflate the mixture while combining.
While the gelatin rests, put the two tablespoons of milk on the stove and heat until boiling. Add the gelatin and mix well until it dissolves completely.
If using agar-agar instead of gelatin, dissolve it in the milk on the stove.
Incorporate the milk into the cream and yogurt mixture and mix well. Use a pastry bag to pour the mixture into a mold that you will place in the freezer for about 2 hours (or 4 hours in the refrigerator).
Your yogurt Bavarian cream is ready!
Plating Tips:
Arrange the yogurt Bavarian cream on the plate and top with a coulis of forest fruits, strawberries, raspberries, or a chocolate sauce according to your taste. For a modern effect, you can create effects like the ones you see in the photo.
Wine Pairing for Yogurt Bavarian Cream:
I recommend pairing the yogurt Bavarian cream with a sweet, delicate, and aromatic dessert wine. For example, a Passito di Pantelleria, which with its sweet notes, pairs well with the tart note of this dessert.
