Stuff to know
This recipe will make about 1000 ml and feed 7 persons.
It is possible to use frozen strawberries.
Make sure the gelatine is fully rehydrated in cold water before using it.
Don’t add the soaked gelatine the a boiling liquid since it will lose its setting capacity. Gelatine will set when its temperature falls below 25°C.
Allow the bavarois at least six hours to fully set.
Chop up some fresh strawberries and add them to the bavarois before setiing.
