Use two or three bavarois of different flavours for this presentation method. The dessert may be set in small loaf tins or oval or round moulds. Decorate the desserts when unmoulded by piping on reserved bavarois mixture, whipped or chocolate cream, and top with frosted rose petals, miniature roses or fresh fruit to complement the flavours of the bavarois.

  1. Coat a mould with the first mix, here vanilla, level the top and chill.

  2. When the first bavarois layer is chilled to a firm consistency, spoon in soft raspberry bavarois to fill the mould three-quarters of the way. If you wish to add a third layer, chill this one first.

  3. Place some raspberries into the second layer and cover with sponge. Chill until completely set, then invert on to serving plates, unmould and decorate. Serve immediately.
