If you're craving a dessert that’s light, creamy, and full of zesty lemon flavor, this Lemon Bavarian Cream will hit the spot. It’s airy yet indulgent—perfect for a summer treat or a fancy dinner party. Let’s make it!

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 40 g sugar
  • 100 ml milk

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 g gelatin (about 1 tsp)
  • 100 ml heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and smooth.
  2. Heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm, then gradually pour it into the egg mixture while stirring constantly.
  3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat until slightly thickened (do not boil).
  4. Remove from heat and add lemon zest and juice. Stir well.
  5. Add the gelatin (pre-soaked in a bit of water if needed) and mix until fully dissolved.
  6. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  7. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold it into the cooled lemon mixture.
  8. Pour into cups or molds. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until set.

🍋 Q&A About Lemon Bavarian Cream

Q: Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

A: You can, but fresh lemon juice gives a brighter, more natural flavor. If you’ve got lemons on hand, squeeze ’em fresh – your taste buds will thank you!

Q: What if I don’t have gelatin?

A: No worries! You can try using agar-agar as a vegetarian alternative, but be sure to follow the right substitution ratio. The texture might be slightly firmer, but still silky and delicious.

Q: How long does it last in the fridge?

A: It’ll stay yummy for about 2–3 days in the fridge. Just keep it covered so it doesn’t absorb any fridge smells. But honestly? It’s so good, you’ll probably finish it way sooner. 😋

Warning:It disappears fast! Enjoy your silky-smooth lemon bavarian cream chilled and topped with a lemon twist or fresh berries!
