Variations

The traditional Napoleon can be modernised by adding chocolate cream, which gives it a unique flavour. In addition, you can add fruits such as raspberries or strawberries for extra flavour.

Secrets of tenderness and taste

The key to the tenderness of Napoleon is the long time it takes for the cream to soak in. Leaving the cake in the refrigerator overnight will allow the layers to soak well, making them incredibly tender.

Tips on ingredients

Choose high-quality chocolate for the cream, as it is the basis of the flavour palette. High-quality butter also plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect cream texture.

Preparation steps

01

Prepare the dough. Defrost the puff pastry, divide it into 6–8 equal parts. Roll out each layer into a thin shape (approximately 2–3 mm). Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and prick with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake at 200°C for about 10–12 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.

02

Preparation of chocolate cream. Mix egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar in a saucepan. Add flour, cocoa and a little milk, stir until smooth. Gradually pour in the rest of the milk, stirring with a whisk, and place over medium heat. Cook until thickened (5–7 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth. Cool the cream to room temperature.

03

Assembling the cake. Place the first cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of cream (about 2–3 tablespoons), then cover with the next cake layer. Repeat until all the layers are used up. Spread cream on the top and sides. Sprinkle with crumbs from the dough scraps or grated chocolate.

04

Cooling Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) so that the layers are well saturated with cream and become tender.

05

Tips. For an even richer flavour, add 1 teaspoon of espresso coffee or a spoonful of liqueur (e.g. Baileys) to the cream. If you want to make a lighter version, replace half of the butter with 33% cream. Store the cake in the refrigerator for no more than 3-4 days — it tastes best when freshly made.
