The first time I ever made this bavarian cream was when I made my very first wedding cake. I used this as the filling. It can be made with fresh or frozen sweetened raspberries; however, I used a seedless raspberry jam.

How To Make raspberry bavarian cream
-
1Bloom the gelatin in the cold water.

Cook over a hot water bath (double boiler), stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. Stir the gelatin mixture into the hot custard sauce until it is dissolved.

3Cool the custard sauce in the refrigerator or over a cold ice water bath, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture smooth.

5When the custard is very thick but not yet set, stir in the raspberry jam. Fold in the whipped cream.
-
6Pour the mixture into molds or serving dishes. Chill until completely set. If prepared in molds, unmold for service.
