Tangerine Bavarian image

Of all the citrus fruits (conveniently in season right now), tangerine has perhaps the most complex qualities. Floral and gently sweet, with an underlying tartness-like three fruits in one. And this lighter-than-air bavarian is wonderfully cool on the tongue, slowly releasing its various aromas as it melts in the mouth.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tight-skinned tangerines
1 (1/4-ounces) envelope unflavored gelatin
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup chilled heavy cream
Equipment: an 8-inch springform pan
Accompaniment:s: tangerine caramel sauce and candied tangerine peel

Steps:

  • Remove side of springform pan and invert bottom, then reattach side (to make bavarian easier to remove). Lightly oil pan.
  • Grate enough zest from 1 tangerine to measure 1 teaspoon, then juice tangerines. (You will need 1 1/4 cups juice.)
  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup tangerine juice in a small bowl and let stand about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and remaining cup tangerine juice in a heavy medium saucepan, then cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture just comes to a simmer (do not let boil). Remove from heat, then whisk in gelatin mixture until completely dissolved. Transfer to a metal bowl and chill in an ice bath, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened to consistency of raw egg whites. Remove from ice bath.
  • Meanwhile, beat cream with zest until it just holds soft peaks.
  • Stir one third of whipped cream into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining cream gently but thoroughly. Spoon into springform pan and chill until set, at least 4 hours and up to 24.

This is a great basic recipe that can be adapted to your own taste. I added a bit of orange zest and a splash of Grand Marnier, and it was divine.

This is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. I used clementines instead of tangerines, and it turned out great.

The recipe was a bit unclear about when to add the gelatin. I ended up adding it at the wrong time, and it didn't set properly.

I found that using a combination of heavy cream and milk made the cream a bit too rich for my taste. I'll use all milk next time.

The tangerine flavor is subtle, but it really enhances the overall flavor of the dish.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a hit. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The orange flavor really shines through, and the texture is light and fluffy. I highly recommend it.

This was absolutely delicious! The combination of tangy tangerines and creamy custard is divine. I used a combination of blood oranges and regular oranges, and it worked out great. My family loved it, and I'll definitely be making it again soon.
