Where to find ingredients
You can find papaya at most local markets or green grocers. The rest of the ingredients, such as double cream, plain yogurt, honey, and gelatin, are staple items available in any local supermarket. Look for gelatin in the baking aisle. If you can't find liquid sweetener, you can substitute it with an equal amount of honey or sugar, though it may slightly alter the calorie profile.
Preparation method
- Blend the papaya, orange juice, and sweetener in a blender until the mixture is perfectly smooth
- Bloom the gelatin in the tablespoon of cold water and let it sit for five minutes to hydrate
- Warm up the double cream and whisk in the hydrated gelatin
- Stir well until the gelatin has completely dissolved
- Fold this mixture gently into the blended papaya cream
- Carefully fold in the whipped egg white until just incorporated to keep it airy
- Divide the mixture into individual ramekins or serving moulds
- Chill in the fridge for about six hours until set
- Prepare the sauce by heating the water with the honey in a small pan
- Allow the honey syrup to cool down completely
- Stir the low-fat yogurt into the cooled syrup until smooth
- Turn out the set Bavarian cream onto plates and drizzle the yogurt sauce around each serving
