Julia Child's Orange Bavarian Cream | Jamie & Julia

[@pianistajs]

The sugar cube seems tedious but when you're zesting, get close and watch all that oil steal away into the air. Tip for potent lemonade - rub the sugar cubes over your lemons and dissolve in the water before you juice. It makes a world of difference

[@madock345]

I think the more modern, probably more effective method is to peel the citrus with a vegetable peeler, taking off the outside layer, and tossing that in a container of sugar. Overnight the sugar will pull all of the oils out of the peel.

[@TheSanityMachine33]

can I have your lemonade recipe? Please?

[@pianistajs]

@@TheSanityMachine33 wash and thoroughly dry your 2lbs., give or take, of lemons (air dry preferred). Fill your favorite pitcher half way with water, take sugar cubes and rub over each lemon, making sure to plunk each cube into the pitcher when fully impregnated, until each lemon has surrendered their fragrant oil (lemons vary and may take several cubes to achieve extraction). After you have finished with each lemon, dont forget to dunk the lemon into the pitcher so you don't waste any sugar. Slice, juice and add to pitcher. Here's where everything starts to become a matter of taste. You want pulp? Add some. Add water and more sugar, if necessary, until you have that sucker pucker we all love. Make sure to leave the last sliced lemon in your pitcher for added appeal and flavor. Takes a little time (an hour or so) but it's far quicker than using a vegetable peeler and letting the sugar macerate the peels for a half a day.

[@aromaladyellie]

When you're buying oranges don't just look for a bright skin, feel for the heaviest ones. The heavier they are the more juice they have. This brought to you by my job of grocery picking for people (but more importantly, how I was told to pick citrus fruits). I must be good because I am often praised for my work by my customers lmao.

Julia Child’s Orange Bavarian Cream Recipe by Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking cookbook This beautiful cold molded dessert tastes just like a cream sickle! It’s creamy, flavorful, and light and worth every single step it takes to make it! Prep time: 1 hour Cook time: 3-4 hours or overnight, chilled Total time: 5 hours + Yield: 8-10 Ingredients 2 large oranges 2 tsp granulated sugar 1/2-3/4 cup squeezed orange juice from oranges 1 1/2 TB gelatin 7 egg yolks 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp cornstarch 1 1/2 cups boiling milk 5 egg whites pinch of salt 1 TB granulated sugar 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream ( I used heavy) 1 tsp vanilla extract Cooking Directions The Orange Flavoring: In a small bowl, zest the two oranges and stir together with 2 tsp of sugar. Set aside. Squeeze the juice from the oranges and pour into a measuring cup to make sure you have at least 1/2 cup of juice. Pour into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice and set aside to soften. To make the custard: Place the egg yolks and orange zest in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, gradually beat in the granulated sugar and continue beating for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is pale yellow and forms a ribbon. Beat in cornstarch. Beat the milk in a thin stream of droplets into the egg mixture (you don’t want to scramble the eggs). Pour into a saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens enough to lightly coat the back of the spoon. Remove from heat and add the gelatin mixture right away, beating for a moment or two until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Rinse out the mixing bowl and pour in the custard mixture. The Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer or the whisk attachment on your Kitchenaid, place the egg whites and pinch of salt into a mixing bowl, beating until soft peaks form. Sprinkle 1 TB of sugar over the peaks and beat until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the hot custard. Set the bowl over another bowl with ice and continue folding delicately with spatula while the mixture is cooling, to keep it from separating until the mixture is cold, but not quite set. Set aside. Whipped Cream: With a whisk, beat the cream and vanilla until the cream has doubled in volume and the whisk leaves faint traces on the surface. Fold the whipped cream into the custard, until completely incorporated. Using an 8-cup mold, like a bundt pan, pour the bavarian cream into the mold. Cover with wax or plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight. To remove the cream from the mold, dip the mold into very hot water for a few seconds and run a knife around the edge of the cream and reverse the mold onto a chilled platter.

[@pianistajs]

Make it once a year for my birthday. Exceptional, exceptional dessert

[@antichef]

Perfect birthday food

[@philipferrato]

Pro Tip: Put a damp towel under the mixing bowl to keep it from moving around/tilting/shaking. I'm not sure why JC recommends the sugar cube. You can alternatley massage the orange zest and sugar together to fully extract the oils in the zest. But yes, one of the great desserts in that book. Well done!

[@antichef]

I’ll for sure use the damp towel tip! Haha the sugar cube is a hot topic. When I made the crêpes suzette, I didn’t use a sugar cube, I did exactly as you described and it turned out the same

[@alexandercolic405]

Great vid, looked delicious. My wife randomly looked up when you were struggling to unmold and said "He should use a warm damp towel on top of top. She's smart

That face you made when you took the first bite, it's like when I take a bite of a really really good cheesecake. Still such a joy. I've recommended you to my friends. I say to them "You gotta watch Anti-Chef, he's a hoot!" The Lobster Thermidor (or however it's spelled since YT won't let me spell it either way) is one of my top favorite of yours. What I really like about your style is you make mistakes and are not afraid to share them, and you keep moving forward. Personally I think it makes you more down to Earth.

[@gerardacronin334]

That looks delicious! 🍊 If I made it I would forget about the mould and just put it in some stemmed glass dessert dishes that I have, and garnish with an orange slice.

[@antichef]

Stemmed glasses would be ideal. I really liked having it in the glass. I would skip the mould next time.

[@TheSanityMachine33]

Great idea!

[@tiamia7139]

Hi Jamie! I just discovered your channel today and haven't stopped laughing all afternoon! You are hilarious! I love your enthusiasm (bravery!) for trying new dishes, many of which are very detailed and complicated, and those 🤬 moments when you're missing an ingredient or two and have to "get creative." 🤣 Helpful hint: If you fold a towel and put it under your mixing bowl, it won't slide around while you're mixing. I love Julia Child too and have read all her books. When my daughter and I were vacationing in Paris, we visited the building where Julia and Paul lived. We stood across the street looking up at the two floors where they had lived, wondering how we could slip inside that big wooden door to have a quick lookie-loo at the courtyard. Then the door suddenly opened and a young woman came out, looked directly at us and gave us a little smile like "Caught you!" I looked at her, gave her a shrug and said, "C'est la vie!" She laughed and gave a little wave as she turned and walked down the street. So close! 😪 I don't know if you've read Julia's book, "My Life in France", but it is timeless and one of the funniest books I've ever read. Her joie de vivre shines through on every page. We need more Julias in the world. Re: To Wash/Not Wash Mushrooms My mother was 100% French. She and my Memere both always rinsed mushrooms in a colander making sure any sand/grit was removed, then gently patted them dry with clean cotton towels. As long as they are patted dry, they won't turn rubbery. She also cleaned the organic greens, radishes, leeks, etc. from our garden by soaking them in heavily salted (1/4 cup) water in a large bowl of icy water for 1 hour. Leeks, in particular, must be thoroughly rinsed, the leaves spread open, to get all the sand out. My mom would then rinse each lettuce leaf under cold running water then pat dry with a clean cotton towel. The salt kills any little gnats or tiny slugs that might be lurking in the furrows of lettuce leaves. The ice water also makes the lettuce fresh and crispy. I wash all produce by hand, including the so-called "triple-washed" lettuce. It still needs to be rinsed well because bacteria continues to grow on the lettuce as it sits in its container during transport and in the grocery store. The one time I forgot to do this, within 20 minutes I got terribly sick. I'll spare you the details. I'm really enjoying watching you cook Julia's recipes. I've cooked probably two-thirds of them over the years. I love her soups too. My favorite soups are her French onion and lobster bisque. I had a bowl of French onion nearly everyday in Paris to see how various chefs made it, which probably explains why I gained 6 lb. in 10 days! 😱 Thank you again for creating such an educational and entertaining channel. Au revoir!

This has been one of my all-time favorite desserts since I was a kid. I’ve made it many times. Personally, I put the orange zest and sugar and a food processor and let it rip. I’m not sure if you’ve done it yet but my other all-time favorite dessert is Julia Child’s apricot sorbet.

[@jacquespoulemer3577]

Hi guys, back in the 1970s I made the 4 Bavarian Creams...Chocolate Orange Strawberry and Lemon. I loved them all but the Lemon for me gets a slight edge. You did a wonderful job on this one...I would advise if you're going to unmold you should leave it overnight to firm up as much as it's going to. Glad you enjoyed it...creamy citrusy rich and paradoxically airy and light. One of my favorite mouth feels. Jim Oaxaca

[@leec5170]

I have actually made this before. It's the kind of thing that's easier to make over two days, and if I were to make it again that's what I'd do. But it came out very light and delicious!

[@Not-Ap]

I love Cointreau! Used it last thanksgiving to make some cranberry salad/relish. It was awesome! I do have to say I think I would have preferred this on thanksgiving instead. You could probably make larger one of these for the holidays using a mixing bowel. I think it would make great side dish.

You can also cut your orange or lemon or citrus fruit in half and squeeze it with your tongs. If the fruit seems a little hard, put it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Not long. It softens and you seem to get more juice. At least that's been my limited experience.

You rub sugar cubes on the surface of an orange ( as you did in this Bavarois Recipe) when you make Crepe Suzettes. When you make a Bavarois always use Leaf(Sheet) gelatine as opposed to powdered gelatine . I think 3 sheets wasnt enough, I would have used 5 sheets in that recipe. ( In Europe the sheets are longer)

[@sour-cabbage]

Cant wait to make this, honestly 😍

Heat the orange in the microwave for 1-2 min before juicing. The orange will give more juice.

[@gerardacronin334]

@@paranoidandroid4956 I am not a chemist, but Wikipedia tells me that “Gelatin is a collection of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish. During hydrolysis, some of the bonds between and within component proteins are broken. Its chemical composition is, in many aspects, closely similar to that of its parent collagen.” And “Agar (/ˈeɪɡɑːr/ or /ˈɑːɡər/), or agar-agar, is a jelly-like substance consisting of polysaccharides obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from ogonori (Gracilaria) and "tengusa" (Gelidiaceae). Agar is a mixture of two components, the linear polysaccharide agarose and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin.” You’re welcome.
