Description

I suggest making a very tasty "Napoleon" cake with ready-made puff pastry and custard cream. It's much faster than making the dough from scratch. Plus, the layers turn out delicious and soak up the delicate custard cream well. A simple "Napoleon" recipe. Everyone is welcome!

Instructions

The puff pastry dough needs to be thawed, and then divided into 4 equal parts
Grease a baking tray with oil, place 2 layers of dough. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius and bake the layers for 20-25 minutes. Repeat the same process with the remaining layers.
Divide the baked layers into 3 parts. Take a small piece from the top and bottom of each layer.
Crumble the small pieces with your hands.
Now let's prepare the cream. Bring 1 liter of milk to a boil.
In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 200 ml of milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and flour. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Pour this mixture into the boiling milk. Stir constantly until the cream thickens.
The custard cream needs to cool down before assembling the cake. Generously coat each layer with the cream.
Coat the top layer with cream and cover the sides as well. Sprinkle the crumbled pieces over the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator. It should be left there for 12 hours to allow it to soak well.
The Napoleon cake made with puff pastry and custard cream is ready. Enjoy your tea time!
