Ingredients for 4 people

  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp gelatin sheets (0 2 g of agar agar)
  • 2 tbsp milk

Tools

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Container
  • 4 Molds

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.

    Béchamel
  • 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.
