Ingredients

Step cooking

1. We reveal 1 kg of pre-thawed ready puff pastry, dividing it into 4 cakes.
   
2. We spread the layers of dough on parchment, a little rolling out with a rolling pin as desired.
   
3. Bake cakes in a preheated oven at a temperature of 200-220 degrees for about 20 minutes. We closely monitor their readiness. Each cake should be well-suited and browned. Set them aside to cool.
   
4. For the cream, for several minutes, beat with a mixer 200 g of softened butter with 1 can of condensed milk until a lush and dense consistency.
   
5. Carefully crush with your hands still warm cakes, removing the upper crispy layers for subsequent powdering.
   
6. Carefully disconnect each cake along the hands or with a knife to get a total of 8 parts.
   
7. We collect the cake from the cooled cakes, generously smearing each layer with air cream using a spatula. If desired, you can diversify the taste of the cake with spicy sourness, additionally alternating the layers smeared with cream and fruit jam.
   
8. Carefully cream the top and sides of the cake with cream and carefully sprinkle the prepared crumbs on all sides.
   
9. It is advisable to leave Napoleon soaked in the cold for at least 2-3 hours, and if possible, then at night.
