- Preparation: 270 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (186 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Contains: alcohol, beef, dairy, egg, gelatin, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 20 g Ladyfingers
- 40 g Milk, whole
- 18 g Egg yolks, raw
- 15 g Sugar
- 2 g Gelatin
- 40 g Cream, heavy
- 45 g Strawberries, raw

- 5 g Spirits
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 8 for a whole charlotte. Warm the milk with the vanilla. Whisk the egg yolk with the sugar, then whisk in the hot milk.
- Return to low heat and stir until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (do not boil); off the heat, dissolve the softened gelatin into it.
- Cool the custard until just starting to set, then fold in the cream, whipped to soft peaks, to make the bavarois.
- Brush the ladyfingers with a little water mixed with the spirits and line the base and side of a small mould or ramekin with them.
- Fill with the bavarois, layering in the chopped strawberries, and smooth the top.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, or until fully set, then unmould to serve.
