Method
 

Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the powdered gelatin with 2 tablespoons of boiled water and stir until fully dissolved.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla extract over medium-low until gentle simmer, about 5 minutes.
  4. Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly to prevent curdling, about 2 minutes.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat, whisking for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin until smooth.
  7. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then fold in the whipped heavy cream.
  8. Pour the mixture into molds or serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  9. Unmold the Bavarian cream by dipping molds in warm water, garnish with fresh berries, and serve.
