Chocolate Bavarois Tart


A bavarois or bavarian cream is made of three main components: a crème anglais (or fruit puree) base, gelatin, and whipped cream. You can add flavoring to it; in this case we added chocolate, which we melted into the crème anglais. While not officially a mousse (after all it's a bavarian cream) it is quite similar in taste and texture, though because of the gelatin this is somewhat denser and smoother while still being light and airy. We spread the cream into a full baked tart shell, decorated the top with chocolate shavings and sweetened whipped cream, and voilà an incredible, light, delicious, chocolate tart. Yum!

I actually bought a plain white plate so that the food shows
up better in photos. I think it worked well!
