Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar & then slowly add the boiled cream/milk mix. Add back to the saucepan & cook slowly, whisking constantly to 85°C until the mix coats the back of a spoon. Strain & add the melted chocolate & gelatine (squeeze out the excess water). Cool over an ice bath. Once cold fold in the whipped cream. 

To assemble: Line the sides of a 24cm springform cake tin with acetate & the base with baking paper. Place the strips of baked sponge around the side. Place a round of sponge cake on the base & line with frozen raspberries. Pour over half the white chocolate bavarois to come halfway up the cake pan & place in the refrigerator to set. Place another round of sponge on top & cover with more frozen raspberries. Top with remaining white chocolate bavarois & then allow to set in the fridge for a few hours.
