Cake "Napoleon" from cookies "Ears" with custard - recipe with photo

To begin with, what are "ears". This is a cookie, which in shape should resemble (may remind someone) this part of the body. It is baked from puff pastry, which means it is light, crumbly, layered and, as a result, should be well soaked. And by the way, we will make the cream traditional - custard. After assembling the cake, it will need to be kept in the refrigerator for several hours, ideally overnight, so that the ears are soaked, softer and the whole structure is well cut with a knife into portioned pieces and resembles its famous older brother.

• eggs - 2pcs;
• sugar - 1 cup;

How to make a cake "Napoleon" from cookies "Ears" without baking

1. We take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Melted in this case is not suitable.
2. Let's start with the preparation of the cream. This is also not a fast process. In a bowl, break the eggs, pour half the sugar and flour. Mix with a fork, do not beat.
   
3. We heat milk on the stove. We heat it up, not boil it. We need it to heat up to the point where it boils a little more.
   
4. Pour a little milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream and mix quickly. The mixture will become thinner, and we can now pour it into milk without fear that the eggs will curl up in flakes or lumps.
   
   
5. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with milk and return to the stove. We turn on moderate heat, and, stirring constantly with a whisk, cook until it thickens. Beginning - this means that the whisk will begin to leave traces on the surface of the mixture. Remove from heat and continue stirring for a couple more minutes. We get the blank, here is the consistency as in the photo.
   
   
   
6. We take cling film and cover the contents of the saucepan using the “in contact” method, that is, the film is placed directly on the surface. We leave to cool. A film is needed so that the surface does not dry out during the cooling process. Cool down to warm.
   
7. When cool, pour the remaining half a glass of sugar into a bowl and put soft butter.
   
8. Beat with a mixer until fluffy, whitening and uniform. Transfer the mixture from the saucepan to a bowl.
   
9. Beat again with a mixer for a few minutes. We should get a thick, homogeneous cream. But it is still warm and not thick enough, so we cover it again with a “contact” film and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
   
10. It's time to assemble the cake. He prepares us without baking, everything for this has already been done by the cookie manufacturer. We need a flat dish. I put the ears in rows, it's more convenient, and I got an almost square Napoleon with three layers of cookies and cream. We put 4-5 cookies aside - then we will make a sprinkle from them. For the first layer, take an ear, dip one surface into the cream and put on a dish. We do this with all the cookies of the first layer.
    
11. I got 3 rows of cookies in each layer, and for greater density I stacked them in a checkerboard pattern. This can be seen in the photo below. Lubricate with cream on top.
    
12. Repeat layers.
    
13. When we finish collecting the cake, we coat the top and sides.
    
14. We put the reserved cookies in a bag and use a rolling pin to turn it into crumbs. We cover the top and sides of Napoleon with a crumb.
    
15. Here Napoleon, in principle, is ready. But now it can't be cut yet. The cookies are still hard. So we put it in the fridge. After the cake has stood there for several hours, it can be served and served at the table.
    

Now, after all, I want to say a few words as a personal review. As a quick option, it certainly has the right to exist. But in this case, you should not cook the right custard. It is better to just beat the condensed milk with butter. Simplifying your task of preparing dessert to a minimum. Since this variation is not worth much fuss. The ears, of course, were soaked, but at the edges of the cake they were still hard in places. Therefore, my verdict: cook only when you don’t have ready-made cakes for Napoleon on sale, because in my experience, they still make the easiest, fastest and most delicious (not counting, of course, the taste of a real cake) lazy Napoleon without baking that I have ever made.

I have heard about such a cake for quite a long time, but still did not dare to try it, I was embarrassed by its name. But since now it’s summer outside and I don’t want to turn on the oven, because it’s already incredibly hot at home, I decided to make a lazy Napoleon from ears cookies. It is made from just such cookies, because it most of all resembles the right base for a cake, and it is also puffy and tasty. I was worried that the Napoleon of the ears might end up dry or poorly saturated, but with the right amount of cream, everything came out just fine and it was very soft.

I make a custard cream for it with the addition of butter, but a small amount so that it does not turn out to be greasy, but more tender. Napoleon cake is made without baking in about 30 - 40 minutes, then the night is soaked and it turns out delicious. And to make the taste even better, I added banana slices between the layers. There are a lot of cakes based on cookies, because it's quick and easy, so I recommend that you try to make it too.

Ingredients:

• Puff pastry "ears" - 600 g
• Milk - 750 ml.
• Chicken egg - 1 pc. (large)
• Sugar - 6 tbsp
• Potato starch - 1.5 tbsp
• Wheat flour - 4.5 tbsp

How to cook Napoleon at home

To make a quick Napoleon, I immediately start preparing the custard. There are many variations of its preparation, and each housewife has her own, and I like this particular method, since the cream comes out thick, but delicate in taste and soaks desserts well. Pour milk into a saucepan with a thick bottom, add a large egg, sugar, vanilla, starch and flour.

Then, using a whisk, mix everything thoroughly to get a liquid mass without lumps.

Then I put it on medium heat and cook all the time stirring until thick. It is more convenient to stir with a whisk, but be careful to stir from the bottom, as the custard can easily burn. In time, this takes about 15 minutes. Look at how it has become, if it is thick, then enough cooking. Then, remove from heat, add butter and mix until smooth.

The cream is ready and I leave it to cool a little so that it is not hot, but warm. Also keep in mind that it should not cool completely, because warm, it will better soak the cookies.

To make the Napoleon cake from cookies even tastier, add bananas between the layers. To do this, I peel one banana and cut it into small pieces. You can add other fruits, such as kiwi or orange.

And now it's time to form the Napoleon cake, for this I put parchment on the bottom of the detachable form and fasten the form. Then I spread the cookies in the first layer. I used 12 cookies and a small piece per layer.

Then I spread the next layer, and between the cookies I lay out the banana slices.

Thus I form the whole cake. From above it is also abundantly smeared with cream. I got 4 layers in total.

I make crumbs out of 10 ears by simply grinding them. You can do this with a blender, a rolling pin, or in any way convenient for you.

I sprinkle Napoleon on top with crushed crumbs and put in the refrigerator for the whole night. Two or three hours is not enough for him if you want him to be soft.

And in the morning I decorate it to my taste. To do this, I cut the chocolate into pieces, and also took a couple of slices of apricot and berries. You can decorate in any way you want. In my opinion, the Napoleon cake at home turned out beautiful and appetizing.

The lazy Napoleon from the cookies of the ears is ready and you can cut it into pieces and serve it to the table. It is not a shame to prepare such a dessert even for the holiday, and even a beginner can repeat this recipe. It turned out really tasty, moderately sweet and satisfying.

If you want to add variety to the taste, you can replace the cream with sour cream or add not only a banana, but also kiwi or orange. Try this recipe, because tasty, it is not always difficult and long. Enjoy your meal!
