How to make Lemon Bavarois
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Beat until you achieve a pale, creamy mixture.
- Step 2
Gradually add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the cream, mixing well to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 5
Lightly grease your chosen mold with neutral oil and pour the bavarois mixture into it.
- Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
