White chocolate cups with strawberry bavarian cream |How to make white chococlatecups and strawberry bavarian cream from scratch

Bavarian cream??Let me give you a insight into what it is.Bavarian cream is also known as Bavarios/Cremebavaroise.Bavarian cream is a dessert made from eggs,whipped cream,sugar,vanilla bean.It is usually served with a fruit sauce or fruit puree and can be used as a filling for cakes, donuts or pastries.

I have made the strawberry version of Bavarian cream with edible white chocolate cups.What a joy it would be if you can eat the dessert as well as the serving cup too?For a person with a Sweet tooth it would be a win-win situation.This is perfect option for parties or birthdays or large gatherings where you need a lot of time to gear up for the main course.It is a make ahead dessert which doesn't demand much of your attention once popped in the refrigerator. 

Note;

• Bavarian cream is a full on dessert with eggs ,so there is no egg less version of it .If you want to avoid eggs, just add strawberry coulis to whipped cream and indulge.
• If you are allergic to eggs or on a medical condition or avoid eggs due to religious beliefs,I truly respect it and advise that this recipe is not for you.
• All the ingredients are at room temperature unless mentioned.
• Cool the mixture to room temperature before mixing with whipped cream.
• To make Bavarian cream we are cooking it first on a ban Marie and later on the flame because eggs cook really fast,so to avoid strawberry scrambled eggs (heeeee) we have done it this way.
