Thank you for the recipe and video. I want to use this as a filling in a cake. How would I go about it. Should I pipe before it sets completely in the fridge? This looks delicious.

Lupita, you will need to add more gelatin to the recipe and chill the cream some before using it so that the consistency is that of a flour thickened custard like for eclairs. Then it should not be a problem to transfer it to a piping bag or simply slather it over the layer of cake. You do not have to wait for it to set completely, only until the consistency is such that you can work with it.

Have you ever made this recipe as a lemon Bavarian cream? If so, what did you do differently or what would you do differently? Thank you! Leslie, the easiest way to go is to use store bought lemon flavored gelatin and stay with the recipe.

If you had any preserved lemons you could rinse them really well from the salt 1 large preserved lemon should do or 2 small and mince really small, then add into the heavy cream before you whip it. They have such powerful lemon essence and no bitternes or sourness.

Tiffany, I would add a few teaspoons start with 2 and add to taste of good quality cocoa powder at the very beginning when whisking the egg yolks and sugar. The chocolate flavor will be nicely incorporated and you can proceed with the recipe. I made this and used 3 envelopes of gelatin as my plan was to put it in my homemade donuts. It was too thin before chilled and too thick afterwards. Mine also separated but it was very yummy!
