Bavarian cream with sour cherries: An irresistible classic

Bavarian cream with sour cherries is a classic from the Alpine region. The noble sweet dessert is usually available in autumn and winter, i.e. outside the cherry season. One is soft and takes frozen goods or cherries from the container. And why in autumn and winter? Because a sweet and fruity dessert rounds off a game dish perfectly. It doesn’t matter if it’s roast wild boar, saddle of venison, venison ham or chamois sausage. Try it, you will be surprised.

Bavarian cream is known to our French neighbors as crème bavaroise. It is not known who invented it. However, a recipe was published in a book by the French chef and confectioner in 1815 Marie-Antoine Careme (1784-1833) mentioned So I’m figuring out French.
