Sounds a bit like a dessert mom used to make with plain gelatin, a can
of fruit cocktail, some maraschino cherries and whipped cream.

She called it Bavarian Cream, but I see those recipes on the net are
all over the place with ingredients, so I don't know what a 'real'
Bavarian Cream might consist of.

We always had it in a bowl that had been carried from Germany by a
great-grandparent. I can still see the moment, 50 years ago, when it
slipped out of my hand as I was putting it away.
