While this recipe may turn out well if you figure out certain things, this is pastry cream and not bavarian cream. Bavarian uses no cornstarch and has gelatin in it. People who are looking for a good pastry cream may never find this good recipe under this name...they are going to miss out

Perfect recipe! I have used it for cream puffs, topping for a banana cheesecake(a la The Cheesecake Factory) and I plan to use it in a Boston Cream Pie. Thanks for the recipe!

This was wonderful! Reminded me of these delicious desserts I used to eat as a kid, but can't find anymore. Thanks!

Filled my cream puffs with this recipe. Out of this world! My family enjoyed the light flavor as opposed to a heavy custard or very sweet cream filling. Five "thumbs up" Nancy.

I used this to fill a cake that i had made and what a treat. It was so much nicer than you regular sweet fillings. Thanks for posting, will be making this again.
