Ingredients
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup milk
– 3 large eggs

Instructions
To make the Elegant Bavarian Cream with Fresh Berries, follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
2. Heat the Milk: In a saucepan, combine the milk and half the granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the milk is warm but not boiling.
3. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract until well-blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
5. Cook the Mixture: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Add Gelatin: Remove from heat and stir in the softened gelatin until completely dissolved. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
7. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture until no streaks remain.
8. Chill the Cream: Pour the Bavarian cream into a serving dish or individual cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours or until set.
9. Prepare Berries: While the cream sets, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Rinse the blueberries and set them aside.
10. Assemble for Serving: Once the Bavarian cream is set, top with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Garnish with mint leaves if desired before serving.
By following these steps, you can create a luxurious and delicious Bavarian Cream that is sure to impress everyone!
