Blender Bavarian Cream

I love chocolate anything, and in my town one of our local supermarkets frequently has whipping cream reduced to half price and I never can find a way to use it up before it spoils.

Ingredients:

• 2 envelopes unflavoured gelatin (I buy gelatin in bulk, it is way cheaper)
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 1 package (6 oz.) semisweet chocolate pieces
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 heaping cup crushed ice
• sweetened whipped cream and chocolate curls for garnish

Directions:

Combine gelatin and hot water in electric blender. Cover, puree at high speed, scraping down sides once, for 40 seconds. Add chocolate pieces and sugar. Cover, puree at high speed 10 seconds. Add egg yolks, whipping cream, vanilla and crushed ice. Cover, blend at medium speed until ice dissolves and mixture begins to thicken.

Pour immediately into 6 dessert glass. Chill until ready to serve. (Dessert should be firm enough to serve in 5 minutes). Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate curls
