Morphology
The compound is compositional: 'Bavarian' (from Bavaria) + 'cream' (a dairy cream) yields a type of cream/dessert associated with Bavaria, so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a creamy Bavarian dessert. The precise culinary details (custard set with gelatin and molded/chilled preparation) are specialized, but the basic meaning is predictable and cross-linguistically parallel (e.g. French crème bavaroise), supporting transparency for B1 learners.
Etymology
The dessert Bavarian cream may come from Bavaria, a region in Germany; one popular story says cooks long ago mixed a smooth cream custard with gelatin so it became firm and chilled it in a mold. So Bavarian cream means 'a rich, chilled custard dessert'.
