  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    Prepare all ingredients. Ushki cookies should be made from puff pastry, purchased or homemade. I have them with poppy seeds, you can take others. In this No Bake Napoleon Cake recipe, the only thing we do is the custard. There should be enough cookies for the cakes and for the topping.

    Break three eggs over a deep container.

    Pour in half the milk and whisk lightly.

    Pour the second part of the milk into a saucepan and place on the stove. If possible, place a flame spreader under the pan.

  12. STEP 12

    STEP 12

    Let the cream simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly and lifting the thick mixture from the bottom so that nothing burns. When the mixture thickens, leave it to cool.

  13. STEP 13

    STEP 13

    In a separate container, beat the butter. Beat until the butter turns white and fluffy. Be careful not to accidentally interrupt it, otherwise it will separate.

  14. STEP 14

    When the cream base has cooled, beat it again for greater homogeneity.

Interesting recipe :) Tell me, do the cookies remain crispy, or do they soak through and turn out to be a soft cake?
