I made a mistake in the kitchen. One of the most amazing mistakes ever!

I wanted to make a bavarian cream filling for a post that had been rambling around in my head. Well, the further I got into it, the more that I realized that this recipe wasn’t suited for a filling. It was a stand alone screaming on the top of the mountain prima donna. The recipe that was floating in my head took an immediate back seat to this dish.

Talk about a delicious, melt in your mouth, cream with real vanilla specks. The Blackberry Coulis tops this dish with a burst of fresh fruit richness, and dresses up the dish elegantly. This isn’t one of those desserts that is sickly sweet thats good on the first taste, but goes downhill from there. No, this lovely concoction is delicious to the very last bite. Mistakes like this are what keep me in the kitchen.

  1. I would be happy to be your foodie buddy! 🙂 I don’t know of many around here either. Have you ever thought about going to a blogging conference?

  2. I wish we lived closer so you could throw all your mistakes my way, Julie! I would take care of them for you! 🙂 I love anything with cream or real vanilla bean in it, so I know I would love this. The berry sauce makes it so beautiful as well. Definitely saving this to make. Thanks for sharing your happy accident!

    1. Thank you Shari! I wished you lived closer too! Would you believe that there are very few food bloggers around here or people that just like to get together and cook or bake? I could use a foodie buddy.

  3. I love when a recipe takes a turn for the worse, but it is really a blessing in disguise! I have never really made a great cream before so I am interested in trying your recipe! Thanks for linking up to Saucy Saturdays!
