Cinnamon Bavarois Recipes

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift almond flour, 1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar and cinnamon together twice., Preheat oven to 325°. Beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in almond flour mixture., Cut a small hole in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag. Pipe 1-in.-diameter cookies 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned and firm to the touch, 9-12 minutes. Keeping cookies on the parchment, transfer to wire racks; cool completely., For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Refrigerate until mixture firms to a spreading consistency, about 10 minutes., Spread about 1/4 teaspoon filling onto the bottom of each of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Spray six (4 oz) bavarois molds; set aside. Put the milk, 1 tsp cinnamon and half the sugar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Temper the egg yolks by adding a small amount of the milk to the yolks while whisking, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. DO NOT LET IT BOIL or the custard will split.
• Soak the gelatin leaves in cold water until soft; drain and add to the hot custard along with the vanilla extract. (If using powdered gelatin, sprinkle it on the hot custard, leave it to sponge for a minute, then stir it in) Strain the custard into a clean bowl and cool.
• Whip the cream and fold it into the custard. Pour the mixture into the prepared molds. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
• Unmold the bavarois by holding each mold in a hot cloth and inverting it on a plate with a quick shake. Dust with the extra cinnamon and serve immediately.
