“Napoleon by the glass”

 

Procedure:

  1. Preparing the pastry:

    • Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into rectangles or squares.

    • Prick with a fork, sprinkle with icing sugar and bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes, until golden.

    • Let it cool completely: it will become crunchy.

  2. Preparation of the cream:

    • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until pale.

    • Add the sifted cornstarch.

    • Bring the milk to the boil, then pour it slowly over the egg mixture, stirring constantly.

    • Return everything to the heat and cook over low heat until the cream thickens.

    • Cover with cling film and leave to cool.

  3. Assembly:

    • In each glass, put a little cream, a few pieces of torn puff pastry, and, if you like, fruit or whipped cream.

    • Alternate the layers and finish with crumbled puff pastry and a dusting of icing sugar.
