Hello my virtual friends,
It is Dec 27 of 2016…And I am in mood for food but I want something light, sweet and easy to make.
Something that will fit my snowflake personality. Do you know what is it?
It is called Cremeschnitte or Napoleon Cake or Vanilla Slice.
For this recipe you will need:
1 sheet of puff pustry
3 cups milk + 2 TBSP milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup whipping cream
How to make this cake?
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Let the puff pastry sheet thaw for 2 hrs, then roll with a rolling pin to 9 x 9 inch. (I used 8×8 pan)
Transfer the pastry rectangles to a baking pan and poke with a fork. Bake for 20 min or until golden and very fluffy.
Let cool completely.
Now, let’s make the cream.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla until boil.
While waiting for milk to boil in another bowl mix 4 egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar.
Add 1/2 cup + 2 TBSP of milk, 1/2 cup corn starch and mix well.
When milk boil add slowly mix above, and stir constantly for 3 min.

It is December 23 in my life. The most joyful day of the year!
Or it would be if some of the 5 star cookies did not decide to act like a special snowflake and yell
at me:” No cupcakes, we are 5 star cookies! No cupcakes! NO, NO, NO!”
I started to speak: “Well, we are open minded people and the blog. And we want to be open to all other sweet possibilities.”
My 5 star cookies started to yell: “No cupcakes. Just NO! ”
You are not my president-they continue to yell at me.
