Step 3: Start Layering in the Glass
Take clear glasses or dessert cups for the best visual effect.
- Add a layer of crushed pastry or softened biscuits at the bottom
- Spoon a generous layer of cream over it
- Repeat the layers—pastry, cream, pastry, cream
Finish with a creamy top layer.
The beauty of this dessert is that perfection isn’t required—rustic layers taste just as amazing.
Step 4: Add the Final Touch
Top your Napoleon in a glass with:
- Crushed pastry crumbs
- Powdered sugar
- Berries or nuts
- Chocolate or caramel drizzle
This final step gives it that “bakery-style” look with zero effort.
Step 5: Chill (Optional… If You Can Wait)
You can eat it immediately for a crunchy-creamy texture, or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes if you prefer softer layers that melt together.
Either way, don’t expect leftovers.
Why It Tastes So Good
- The cream is airy and lightly sweet
- The pastry or biscuits add contrast and texture
- Every spoonful has balanced flavor
- It feels luxurious without being heavy
It’s the kind of dessert that makes people ask, “You made this?”—and you’ll smile knowing how easy it really was.
