Prep Time

Cook Time

This recipe does not require any cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bowl
  • Fine-mesh strainer

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from cooking.
  4. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream mixture, whisking constantly.
  5. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
  8. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Chill the cream in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
  10. Once chilled, the Bavarian cream can be piped, spooned, or spread onto your favorite desserts.

Recipes FAQ

What is Bavarian cream?

Bavarian cream is a classic dessert filling made from a custard base (usually a combination of milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolks) that is lightened with whipped cream and set with gelatin.

Can I use this filling in a cake?

Absolutely! Bavarian cream is a popular filling for cakes, cupcakes, and pastries. Just be sure to chill the cream before using it to prevent it from melting or becoming too soft.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to temper the eggs by slowly adding hot cream to them while whisking constantly. This will prevent the eggs from cooking and curdling.
  • Pass the cream mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
  • Chill the cream for at least 2 hours before using to ensure it sets properly.
  • For an extra-fluffy cream, fold in whipped cream after the mixture has chilled.

Enjoy your delicious Bavarian cream filling!
