Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours and 30 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

- 500 ml heavy cream (minimum 30% fat)
- 250 ml milk
- 100 g sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 10 g gelatin (or 5 sheets of gelatin)
- 3-4 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preparing the gelatin: Start by hydrating the gelatin. If using granulated gelatin, place it in a small bowl with 50 ml of cold water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. If using gelatin sheets, soak them in cold water for the same amount of time.

2. Preparing the cream: In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, egg yolks, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients well to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and reaches a temperature of about 80°C (do not let it boil).

3. Adding the green tea: Once the milk and egg mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and add the green tea powder, stirring well to prevent lumps from forming.

4. Incorporating the gelatin: If you used granulated gelatin, incorporate the hydrated gelatin into the warm mixture, stirring until completely dissolved. If you used gelatin sheets, drain them well and then add them to the mixture, stirring until dissolved.

5. Whipping the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it becomes firm. Be careful not to overwhip it, or it will turn into butter.

6. Combining the ingredients: Fold the green tea mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, with gentle up-and-down motions. This step is essential to maintain the airiness of the cream.

7. Pouring into molds: Pour the obtained mixture into individual molds or a dessert dish and level the surface. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.

8. Serving: After the bavarian cream has cooled and set, you can decorate it with whipped cream, fruit slices, or a white chocolate glaze. Give it a special touch by sprinkling green tea powder or fresh raspberries on top.

Helpful tips:

- Make sure the heavy cream is well chilled before whipping it for the best results.
- If you want to try a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar by half.
- You can experiment with other flavors by adding, for example, almond extract or citrus juice to the cream mixture.

Green tea bavarian cream is not only a delicious dessert, but also a perfect way to add a touch of elegance to any meal. Enjoy the refined taste and savor every spoonful!
