I had heard about this cake for quite some time, but I still didn’t dare try it, I was confused by its name. But since it’s summer outside now and I don’t want to turn on the oven, because it’s already incredibly hot at home, I decided to make a lazy Napoleon from ear cookies. It is made from just such cookies, because they most closely resemble the desired base for a cake, and they are also flaky and tasty. I was worried that the ear napoleon might end up dry or poorly soaked, but thanks to the right amount of cream, everything turned out just fine and it was very soft.
I make custard cream for it with the addition of butter, but a small amount, so that it does not turn out greasy, but is more tender. A Napoleon cake is made without baking in about 30 - 40 minutes, then it is soaked overnight and it turns out delicious. And to make the taste even better, I added banana slices between the layers. There are a lot of cakes based on cookies, they are quick and easy, so I recommend that you try making them too.
Ingredients:
- Puff pastry “ears” – 600 g
- Milk – 750 ml.
- Chicken egg – 1 pc. (big)
- Sugar – 6 tbsp
- Potato starch – 1.5 tbsp
- Wheat flour – 4.5 tbsp
- Vanilla - a pinch
- Butter – 100 g
- Banana – 1 pc.
How to cook Napoleon at home
To make a quick Napoleon, I immediately start preparing the custard. There are many variations of its preparation and each housewife has her own, but I like this particular method, since the cream comes out thick, but has a delicate taste and soaks desserts well. Pour milk into a saucepan with a thick bottom, add a large egg, sugar, vanilla, starch and flour.
Then, using a whisk, I thoroughly mix everything to form a liquid mass without lumps.
Then I put it on medium heat and cook, stirring all the time until thick. It is more convenient to stir with a whisk, but be careful to stir from the bottom, as the custard can easily burn. This takes about 15 minutes. Look at how thick it has become, if it’s thick, then it’s enough to cook. After which, remove from heat, add butter and mix until smooth.
The cream is ready and I leave it to cool a little so that it is not hot, but warm. Also keep in mind that it should not cool completely, because warm, it will soak the cookies better.
To make the Napoleon cake made from abalone cookies even tastier, I’ll add bananas between the layers. To do this, I peel one banana and cut it into small pieces. You can add other fruits, such as kiwi or orange.
Now it’s time to form the Napoleon cake. To do this, I put parchment on the bottom of the springform pan and seal the pan. Then I lay out the cookies in the first layer. It took me 12 cookies and a small piece to make one layer.
Then I lay out the next layer, and place banana slices between the cookies.
This way I form the whole cake. I also generously lubricate it with cream on top. I ended up with 4 layers in total.
I make crumbs out of 10 ears by simply chopping them. This can be done with a blender, rolling pin, or any method convenient for you.
I sprinkle crushed crumbs on top of Napoleon and put it in the refrigerator for the whole night. Two or three hours is not enough for it if you want it to be soft.
And in the morning I decorate it to my taste. To do this, I cut the chocolate into pieces, and also took a couple of apricot slices and berries. You can decorate in any way you want. In my opinion, the homemade Napoleon cake turned out beautiful and appetizing.
The lazy napoleon from ear cookies is ready and you can cut it into pieces and serve. There is no shame in preparing such a dessert even for a holiday, and even a beginner can repeat this recipe. It turned out really tasty, moderately sweet and satisfying.
If you want to add variety to the taste, you can replace the cream with sour cream or add not only banana, but also kiwi or orange. Try this recipe, it’s delicious, it’s not always difficult and time-consuming. Bon appetit!
My family loves sweets very much, but I can’t bake cakes: it’s not my thing.
Therefore, I try to select recipes for cakes without baking. One of the most favorite is a lazy cake a la Napoleon, which is easy to make from puff pastry ears. The cake, soaked in delicate and aromatic cream, tastes absolutely no different from the classic version.

How to cook with photos step by step
First of all, let's prepare the custard. This is an important and responsible stage, because the taste and appearance of the dessert will depend on the consistency of the cream. To avoid lumps, stir it constantly during cooking.
Pour milk into a saucepan and beat in a chicken egg, mix and add granulated sugar and vanillin. Add flour and starch. 
Mix everything thoroughly so that there are no lumps. 
Heat the mixture over low heat. Next, cook the cream until it thickens, stirring constantly. 
Remove it from the heat and add oil, mix gently. 
And then cool the cream. 
To prepare a Napoleon cake from cookies, place a layer of ears in the mold, filling all the voids. 
Fill it with cream and add cookies again. 
We do this until we have laid out all the layers and coated them with cream.
Finally, pour the cream thickly over the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. 
Be sure to put our dessert in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, if possible, then for 8-10 hours.

It's just as easy to prepare
Good day, dear friends and simply guests of the site.
I bought two packages of cookies at the store. A total of 600 grams came out. Cookies should be of high quality, tasty, crispy, but not very hard. I found exactly this.
Now let's start preparing the custard. To do this, I pour 1 liter of milk into a saucepan with a thick bottom. In this case, the milk is 2.5% fat.
For the cream I also need three chicken eggs, sugar, flour, vanillin and butter.
I add sugar to the milk and then break the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
I measure out the required amount of flour.
I add flour to the saucepan with the previous ingredients and put it on the fire. At the same time, I stir thoroughly.
Stir until the mixture thickens. The first bubbles will signal that the custard is ready at this stage. And no lumps. You need to mix intensively and thoroughly.
While the cream is cooling, I take the butter out of the refrigerator so that it softens well.
I add soft butter to the almost cooled cream and beat everything well again with the same whisk. The cream is ready.
All that remains is to assemble the lazy Napoleon. To do this, I dip each cookie in cream and place it on a plate. There is no need to skimp on the cream. A lot of cream is the key to a juicy cake.
You can give the cake the correct shape, or you can, like me, lay out the cookies in a heap. I pour out the remaining cream and spread it on top. Decorate the cake with crumbs from the same cookies.
And some Mushroom cookies for decoration. Now I put the cake in the refrigerator overnight so that Napoleon has time to soak.
After a few hours, the cake is ready to eat.
Enjoy your tea!
