Ingredients:

For the Bavarois:
5 teaspoons cold water
1 and 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin

1 cup whole milk
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup hot water
4 teaspoons instant espresso powder

Beat cream in another large bowl until stiff peaks form.

Fold whipped cream into custard in 2 additions.

Fold in crushed cookies.

Divide mixture among prepared cups.
 
Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Sauce:

Unmold bavarois onto plates. Spoon sauce around each and serve immediately. Serves 8.
