Male name that comes from the French «bavarois» (in the cooking language, however it is used in the feminine «la bavarese») which indicates a delicate spoon dessert formerly known as «Bavarian cheese» ; its origins are not clear, but it is thought that the name was coined by some French cook who worked for a noble Bavarian family. This dessert is prepared with a cream or with fruit pulp, whipped cream and gelatin sheets and placed in a mold with smooth or fluted walls.
