There arent many dessert recipes that offer a lovely light pastry filled with rich cream such as a Napoleon. This is my express version of Napoleon.

Ingredients for dough:

1 package of puff pastry

Cream:

1 stick of butter (soften)

1/2 cup powder sugar

2 small packs of instant vanilla pudding

2 1/2 cups milk

12 oz cool whip (melted at room temp for an hour)

Puff pastry need to be at room temperature. You will need pieces of aluminum foil.

Sprinkle a little bit of flour on the foil and roll into a thin flat piece. You can put a plate over it to make it into a circle cake.

I made mine a square shape. Poke with a fork all around. Bake it on the same piece of foil. Bake on 350F about 10 min.

The dough will shrink.

To make cream. Put milk into a bowl add pudding and mix for a few min. Set aside.

Butter have to be really soft. Mix it with powdered sugar. Add a few table spoons of pudding to make it really smooth.

Add all the pudding and cool whip. Mix until smooth.

Spread it on each layer of the dough.

Leave it over night to soften. To decorate you can use crumbs from the dough. Or be creative with fruits. Enjoy with your favorite tea or coffee.
