    In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. pour the hot milk in a steady stream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. return the mixture to the saucepan and cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. remove from heat and pour the custard through a strainer.

    When the mixture has cooled almost to room temperature, whip the heavy cream to medium stiffness and fold it into the custard. immediately transfer the Bavarian cream to parfait glasses, molds, or on prepared cake layers, as it will firm up quickly as the gelatin sets. refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Don't make this recipe. I followed the directions to a T twice and ended up curdling the eggs twice. My third try, I went with my instincts and only simmered the milk instead of boiling the milk. Granted I had to heat it for awhile for the custard to thicken, but I would rather do that then have the scrambled egg mess that I encountered two attempts prior.
