Bavarian Cream Molds

Ingredients

• 1 quart strawberries
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon granulated gelatine
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 3/4 cup hot milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup top milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Hull and wash strawberries. Save about eighteen berries for garnishing. Mash the rest. Add one cup of the sugar to them and put aside to chill. Soften the gelatine in cold water. Add one-fourth cup of sugar to the hot milk. Beat the egg yolks and the other one-fourth cup of sugar and the salt and beat again. Cook egg mixture in hot milk until it coats the spoon, then add softened gelatine. Strain and cool. Beat the cream stiff and save half for garnishing. As soon as the gelatine mixture begins to thicken, add the other half of the whipped cream, the top milk, and vanilla. Fold over and over until blended and mold. Servings, 8.
