How to make Lemon Bavarois

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Beat until you achieve a pale, creamy mixture.

  2. Step 2

    Gradually add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the cream, mixing well to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. Step 3

    Separately, hydrate the gelatin in a small amount of cold water. Heat gently until it comes to a boil, then slowly add it to the previous mixture, stirring well until you achieve a smooth cream. Allow the mixture to cool.

  4. Step 4

    In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the yolk mixture using a spatula and making folding motions to avoid deflating the mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Lightly grease your chosen mold with neutral oil and pour the bavarois mixture into it.

  6. Step 6

    Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

FAQS

  1. Can I use flavored gelatin instead of unflavored gelatin?

    It is recommended to use unflavored gelatin to preserve the lemon flavor of the bavarois.

  2. How do I know if the egg whites are properly whipped?

    The egg whites should form stiff peaks and hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.

  3. Can I use a different citrus fruit for this recipe?

    Yes, you can substitute lemon with lime or orange for a different flavor profile.

  4. How long can I store the bavarois in the refrigerator?

    The bavarois can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  5. Do I need to grease the mold if it is non-stick?

    It is still recommended to lightly grease the mold to ensure easy removal of the bavarois.
