Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Napoleon cake from pita bread with custard without baking? Prepare your food. My pita breads are thin and round. If you don’t find exactly round ones, feel free to take a regular rectangular one and cut it into either circles or squares, it doesn’t matter. Choose high-quality butter, without additives, that complies with GOST. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance, it should become soft. Milk is suitable for any fat content.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare the cream. How to make cream? Take a saucepan with a thick bottom, this is important so that the custard base does not burn. Pour milk into a saucepan, beat in eggs, add sugar, flour and starch. Mix the products with a whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the saucepan over low heat and, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil it for several minutes, stirring, until thickened.

Step 4

Step 4
Remove the cream from the heat, cover with cling film "in contact" — so that it lies on the surface of the cream, this is necessary to avoid the formation of a crust on top. Cool the custard base to room temperature.

Step 5

Step 5
Then add soft butter to it and stir until smooth. The cream is ready.

Step 6

Step 6
Toast the pita bread in a hot dry frying pan on both sides until crispy and golden brown.

Step 7

Step 7
Select 1 or 2 of the lopsided pita breads and grind them into crumbs for sprinkling on top of the cake. I also added 2 crushed cookies.

Step 8

Step 8
Place a cooking ring of the required diameter on the dish, place a sheet of pita bread on the bottom and coat it well with cream. Cover with a second sheet. So, alternating layers of cake layers and cream, assemble the entire cake.

Step 9

Step 9
Sprinkle crushed lavash crumbs on top of the cake. Place it in the refrigerator overnight to soak. You can decorate the finished cake to your taste with berries, nuts or grated chocolate. Bon appetit!
