When I want to use up leftover Egg Yolks, I often make custard desserts. This is one of them. Some recipes say we should cook the Egg Yolks with Milk, but I don’t cook. Because the hot Milk will cook the Egg Yolk. This Basic Bavarois is best to serve with fresh berries or berry sauce. I always stock bags of Mixed Berries in my freezer. They are extremely handy. The berry sauce can be made by just heating up those frozen berries with a little bit of sugar.
