Bavarian cream

Gelatin-set custard dessert

Bavarian cream is a chilled dessert made from custard, gelatin, and whipped cream, typically set in a mold.

The texture is light and silky, richer than pudding but less dense than cheesecake.

It often appears as a filling in pastries and cakes: The éclair was filled with Bavarian cream.

Also called bavarois.
