A friend of mine gave me her home-grown Lemons. Using one of them, I made these delicious Lemon Bavarois today. As you can see in the recipe below, the ingredients that you need are basic things only. It is quite easy to make, yet it can be a fantastic dessert. Lemon desserts often required extra Sugar because of the sour juice is added. Instead of adding extra Sugar, I served with Bavarois with Lemon Curd Sauce.

Steps

10 minutes plus cooling time

1

Sprinkle Gelatine Powder evenly over Water in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
2

Place Milk and Lemon Zest in a saucepan, heat over low heat, and bring just to the boil. Add the soaked Gelatine and mix until Gelatine dissolves completely.
3

Meanwhile, place Egg Yolks and Sugar in a mixing bowl, and whisk until thick and pale. Gradually add the hot Milk mixture and whisk well. Discard the Lemon Zest.
4

Return the mixture to the saucepan, and heat over low heat, whisking constantly, until slightly thickens. DO NOT boil. *Note: This process is optional. As Egg Yolks can be cooked by the hot Milk mixture, you don’t need to heat it if you prefer.
5

Cool the mixture. When the mixture has started thickening, add softly whipped Cream and Lemon Juice, and mix to combine well.
6

Pour the mixture into serving glasses OR jelly moulds. Place them in the fridge and leave to set. Serve Lemon Bavarois with Lemon Curd Sauce. I added some whipped Cream for decoration.
