Elementary Napoleon that doesn't need to be baked: how to do without custard and dough
Napoleon cake is a dessert that has no seasonality. It is relevant at any time of the year. But among all the cooking options, the simplest one is most often chosen – the one that does not require baking. You can also choose a simple cream, which is made on the basis of starch and turns out to be very tender.
A simple idea for a Napoleon cake made from ears cookies was published on the Instagram page of Christy Petrash (kristy_cookery).
