Chill 3.5 dl (12 fl oz, 1 1-2 cups) double (heavy) cream and 75 ml (3 fl oz. 1-3 cup) milk in the refrigerator. Soak 1520 g (1-2 - 3-4 oz, 2-3 envelopes) gelatine in 3 tablespoons cold water. Boil 6 dl (1 pint, 2 1-2 cups) milk and a vanilla pod (vanilla bean). Work 8 egg yolks, 125 g (4 oz, 1-2 cup) caster (superfine) sugar, and a pinch of salt together, and when the mixture is smooth, blend in the milk (from which the vanilla pod (vanilla bean) has been removed). Then add the gelatine and mix well. Stir continuously over a gentle heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. It is important not to allow the mixture to boil. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool, then refrigerate until custard is cold and just beginning to thicken. Whip together the chilled cream and cold milk. As soon as it begins to thicken, add 50 g (2 oz, 4 tablespoons) caster (superfine) sugar, then add to the cooled mixture. Brush the inside of a Bavarian cream (or souffl or savarin) mold with oil, preferably almond oil. Fill to the brim with the Bavarian cream mixture. Cover with buttered paper and refrigerate until firmly set. To loosen the cream, dip the bottom of the mold in hot water, place a serving dish on top of the mold, and quickly turn them over together. A Bavarian cream may alternatively be flavored with coffee (add 2 tablespoons instant coffee to the milk instead of the vanilla pod), with chocolate (add 100 g (4 oz) melted cooking chocolate to the milk), with lemon or orange (add the juice of 2 lemons or oranges), with liqueur (add approximately 2 teaspoons), with praline, etc.
