Do you love the taste of the classic Napoleon cake, but the thought of rolling out dozens of layers and spending hours in the oven kills your desire to cook? This dessert has taken the internet by storm with its simplicity and elegant presentation.
Ingredients:
For 2-3 servings you will need:
For the delicate cream:
-
Egg — 1-2 pcs.
-
Sugar — 3 tbsp.
-
Flour — 2 tbsp.
-
Milk — 150 ml.
-
Vanilla — a pinch.
-
Butter — 20 g.
For the base:
- Poppy seed cookies — 150-200 g (or regular crackers).
For decoration:
-
Strawberries — 5 pcs.
-
Mint sprig.
Preparation:
-
In a small saucepan, combine the eggs and sugar, and whisk thoroughly. Add flour and vanilla, and mix. Gradually pour in the milk. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
-
As soon as the first bubbles appear, remove from heat. Add the butter to the hot mixture, stir, and let cool.
-
Crush the cookies by hand or with a rolling pin into small pieces. Do not make the crumbs too fine to maintain texture.
-
Layer the dessert in transparent glasses: a layer of cookies, a layer of cream, again cookies. Repeat until the glass is filled. Finish with a layer of cream.
-
Decorate the dessert with pieces of fresh strawberries and a mint leaf.
-
The dessert can be eaten immediately while the cookies are crispy, or placed in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to soak.
