For many of us, Napoleon with custard cream is more than just a dessert. It is a gastronomic journey back to childhood, when we watched our elders prepare these incredibly crispy layers, which later turned into a heavenly pie. Custard cream gently enveloping each bite, a little powdered sugar on top — and you are already in the epicentre of sweet delight.


Variations

There are different modifications of this dessert. Some chefs add berry jam between the layers to enhance the flavour; others add chocolate glaze for a deeper aroma.


Secrets of tenderness and taste

The main secret of the incomparable taste is in the carefully prepared dough and delicate custard cream. Check the ingredients for freshness and let the finished cake stand — then the Napoleon will be even better.
