History of National Bavarian Cream Pie Day

Bavarian cream is believed to have been around since the middle ages. Its origin is believed to have been during the 17th and 18th century when French chefs cooked for the Wittelsbach princes, a German family that ruled Bavaria from the 12th century until 1918.

Marie-Antonie Careme, a French chef that created the “high art” of French cooking and was considered to be one of the first Celebrity chefs in Europe. He is also believed to have invented Bavarian cream. The Bavarian cream pie was named during the 19th century for Bavarian afterward.

The Bavarian cream itself was considered revolutionary at the time because the process of making Bavarian cream involved putting it in an “airtight” seal. As it is made with heavy cream and whipping cream, it is mostly used as a dessert alongside a fruit puree or a fruit sauce.

Bavarian cream pies became popular after the 1900s when instant pudding and custard mixes helped advance the process of making these kinds of desserts. Since then, Bavarian cream pies also helped create variations such as a coconut cream pie and a Boston cream pie.

What makes Bavarian cream different from other pies is the delicate and delicious flavor that can be incorporated with many other flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, and banana. So why not try an awesome Bavarian creampie on this day?
