Vanilla Cream for Napoleon cake with yolks

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, grind the yolks with sugar.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grind thoroughly, but if some of the sugar does not dissolve immediately, it’s okay.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add sifted flour and mix well. The result is a thick mass, we need to dilute it slightly, because if we add it in this form to hot milk, we will get a sweet lump of dough in the milk.

5. STEP 5

   

   So, take our boiled milk and add half the milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now pour the diluted egg mixture into the remaining milk, do not forget to stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the pan on the fire, stirring constantly, bring the cream to a boil and cook until thickened. Stirring at this stage is very important, as the cream likes to burn. If suddenly you get lumps, rub the cream through a sieve.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the finished cream into a wide container, add vanilla tincture and butter, mix well. If you use vanilla sugar or vanillin, add it along with the sugar.

9. STEP 9

   

   To prevent a crust from forming on the cream while cooling, cover it with cling film so that it adheres to the surface of the cream, or simply stir it constantly :)

10. STEP 10

    

    This cream is suitable not only for Napoleon, but it can also be used to fill shortbread baskets, serve with berries, freeze, or simply serve in a bowl with puff pastry. Bon appetit!

To make the cake, I bought ready-made puff pastry. It turned out very tasty and festive. The main thing is to let the cake brew so that the cream saturates the cakes.
