About

Napoleons are stunning but relatively easy-to-make layered pastries, also known as millefeuilles. For this really show-stopping dessert, you can make all the components ahead of time and then assemble just before serving. You can fill them with all sorts of flavours and ingredients. Feel free to make these your own with a pastry cream or a fresh and easy crème Chantilly.
