I really like cakes and pies that contain milk cream in the composition, hence my passion for Napoleon Cake and of course this version, very delicious, with lots of cream and only 2 sheets - Vanilla Custard Cream Squares, my favorites.

In this recipe, the cream is firm, like a pudding, the layer of whipped cream gives it a special charm - in addition it is even easier to serve / cut because the top sheet is in the shape of crumbs. I recommend it with great pleasure, it is prepared quickly, it is very fine and tasty.

You can buy the sheets or you can make them at home from commercial or homemade puff pastry.

Step by step

Step 1

I made the sheets from store-bought puff pastry.

I cut the dough into 2 pieces.

Step 2

I sprinkled a little flour on the table and spread each sheet with the foil, just a little to be about the size of my stove tray.

Step 3

I put them on baking paper and baked for about 30 minutes at 200 degrees, until they browned nicely.

Step 4

Because they were very swollen when baked, while they were hot, I lightly pressed them on top with the back of the knife - to make the surface straighter and more uniform.
