Elegant Coconut Bavarian Cream
A family recipe usually saved for special occasions, this looks beautiful served in wine or martini glasses. It has a rich taste with a light texture. I recommend starting early on this, as the dessert needs time to set in the refrigerator. Great for when the oven is occupied with other dishes!

Editor's Notes:
This recipe contains raw egg. We recommend that pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and the infirm do not consume raw egg. Learn more about egg safety from our article, How to Make Your Eggs Safe.
If you're concerned about consuming raw eggs, you can pasteurize the egg yolks in this recipe by making a creme Anglaise. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and salt. In a steady stream, pour the hot milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and pour through a sieve into a mixing bowl.
You may omit the egg whites. The texture of the finished dish won't be quite as light, but it will still be delicious.
