Hello Bobbie. I am happy to hear you are going to try this recipe. I have folded whip cream into this mixture before. I does work well. Be sure to fold in about a third of the whipped cream first, which will loosed the mixture and make it easier for the rest to be added without deflating. As far as how long it will hold that is a tough question to answer. First of all it will depend on how well the cream is whipped and added. In my experience after a couple days anything I have added whipped cream to will begin to lose its volume. I hope this helps and good luck with your dessert. Let me know how it works or you! Thanks!

Interesting. I would guess it would make it creamier but also probably a bit heavier.

Christoph: I found a similar recipe online that adds a third ingredient (cream cheese). See https://www.food.com/recipe/easy-bavarian-cream-136204.

How do you think the cream cheese would effect the taste and texture of the end result?

I am so happy to hear you liked this recipe. It is certainly an easy, delicious, and versatile filling. Thank you so much for sharing!

WOW!! Two ingredient perfection! I was eating this stuff straight from the bowl, it was that good! I paired it with strawberry puree to fill my strawberries and cream layer cake. The creaminess of this cream with the tart zingy-ness from the strawberry puree made for a balanced, not too sweet cake. I cannot wait to try this cream for a fruit trifle, and so many other possibilities. 10/10!

Overmixing can make the cream grainy. And again this is just a tasty substitute for true Bavarian cream.

I had this problem, and I didn’t try again 😢

Thanks for sharing your experience. I know I personally have attempted a few substitutions when I did not have an ingredient, and you never know, sometimes they work out just fine.

Love the recipe as written, Unfortunely I could only find half and half this time and I tried a conversion I found on google to make this recipe but it wasn’t thick enough for a cake filling , I added some cream cheese to it but it’s still loose. Tastes amazing still, just thought I’d weigh in on my experiment.
