Pancake napoleon
This pp cake is prepared quickly and tasty, and it is based on everyone’s favorite pancakes.
So, for the test you will need:
- 3 eggs
- 250 ml milk. In this recipe we will use 2.5% fat milk.
- 2 tablespoons rice flour. It is this flour that is used in dietary cooking, as it contains a large amount of starch.
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch. This type of starch has a lower degree of thickening, so it is often used in cooking.
- 2 tablespoons of milk powder. Try to find it, it will give the cake a special taste.
- ½ tsp. baking powder.
For the cream you will need:
- 3 yolks
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch. It will make the cream soft.
- 450 ml milk. Use 2.5% fat milk
- Any sweetener or sweetener to your liking.
- 30 grams of nuts. In this case, hazelnuts are perfect.
First, let's prepare pancakes for our dietary Napoleon. Mix all the ingredients for the dough in a blender and bake the pancakes until they are soft. It is important not to overcook them in the pan, because we don’t need a crust at all. It is best to use a non-stick frying pan with a small diameter. You should have about 7 small pancakes. If you want a tall cake, you can double the ingredients.
Now let's move on to our diet cream. Gently mix the yolks, sweetener and starch. Whisk a little and add milk. Now we put our cream for napoleon pp on the fire. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. When the cream is ready, cool it. We grease our pancakes with cream and put them in the refrigerator for several hours. Our dietary napoleon must brew properly. In the meantime, we will fry the hazelnuts in a frying pan and chop them. Sprinkle your napoleon with hazelnuts and you can enjoy a delicious dessert!
PP Napoleon with dietary cream
Do you want Napoleon with condensed cream? Who said there is no diet condensed milk? Here is a recipe for another Napoleon recipe based on pancakes with condensed cream! So, for the test you will need:
- 3 eggs.
- 100 ml milk. We use milk with a fat content of 2.5%
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Vanillin. This will make your pancakes more flavorful and sweet.
- Any sweetener to your taste.
Now let's move on to our cream:
- 4 tablespoons skim milk powder. This ingredient cannot be replaced with another, so take the trouble to find it.
- 300 ml milk.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Do not replace it with potato starch, otherwise your cream may be too thick.
- Any sweetener of your choice.
Prepare the pancakes: mix all the ingredients and bake the pancakes in a non-stick frying pan. You can add a drop of vegetable oil if the pancakes burn. Again, use a small-diameter frying pan, then your cake will be taller.
Now let's start preparing dietary condensed milk: in a dry frying pan you need to fry the milk powder until it turns brown. Be prepared for the milk to clump into lumps, but they are easy to grind. Take a saucepan, pour milk into it and add fried milk powder, starch and sweetener to taste. Place on low heat and cook, stirring! Important: do not bring the cream to a boil! As soon as the cream begins to thicken, remove from heat. We grease our cake with cream and the dietary Napoleon is ready!

Recipe two
But not only can you make Napoleon with a low calorie content using starch; this recipe contains such a miracle as bran. They are very useful for proper nutrition, and you can buy them by finding the diet section in most supermarkets.
Ingredients:
- Bran – 100 gr.;
- Flour – 4 cups;
- Refined vegetable oil – 1 tablespoon;
- Boiled water, cooled - 1 glass;
- Salt – 1 pinch;
- Soy milk – 2 cups;
- Sweetener;
- Vanilla sugar – 1 sachet.
We start preparing Napoleon by boiling the cream, since it cools down quite a long time.
Pour soy milk into a saucepan, add sweetener and vanilla sugar, and set to simmer over low heat. When the milk begins to boil, pour half a glass of flour with half a glass of water and mix well. Gently pour this mixture into the sweetened milk. Stir again and cook for another five minutes, then remove from heat and set to cool. During the first couple of minutes in a bowl of ice water, it is better to stir the fudge so that it does not stick to the hot walls and bottom of the pan.
After the impregnation is ready, we take on the dough.
To do this, mix everything dry - salt, flour and bran. Add odorless vegetable oil and the remaining water, you should get a fairly thick but elastic dough. If this does not happen, then add more water in small portions. Constantly knead the dough. Divide the finished mass into 8 equal parts and roll out into thin layers. Each cake is cooked in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. The oven should be at 180 degrees.
After each one is baked, it must be removed from the oven and immediately cut according to the template. To do this, I usually use a frying pan without a handle, which I place on top of the crust and trim off the excess with a pizza cutter. When all the layers are ready, you need to coat them with cooled cream, crumble the trimmings from the layers and sprinkle them on the finished dish.
This Napoleon, like the previous recipe, must stand in the refrigerator overnight to be completely soaked. Only after this can it be served.

How to make homemade Napoleon cake
- for baking cakes;
- 300 grams of margarine;
- medium-sized eggs - 2 pieces;
- 600 grams of wheat flour;
- 150 ml. ice water;
- a pinch of salt;
- 6 ml. 9% vinegar;
- To soak the cakes:
- Medium fat milk – 1 liter;
- Sugar – 400 grams;
- 8 pieces of egg yolks;
- Flour – 100 grams;
- Vanilla syrup – 1 teaspoon.
Napoleon cake dough
First of all, you need to prepare the main components - puff pastry sheets.
To do this, you need to prepare flour mixed with salt. Be sure to sift it. After this, you need to prepare margarine - it should be cooled and grated on a coarse grater. Add grated margarine little by little to the flour and turn it not into a completely homogeneous mass, but a little structured, so that later you can get a layered texture into the dough.
After this, pour the vinegar solution with water into the mixture. Mix well and add the previously beaten eggs (for better beating, add a little salt to the eggs!). Mix the whole mass thoroughly, roll it up and refrigerate for half an hour, not forgetting to cover it properly with cling film.
While the dough is cooling, let's start preparing the impregnation for the cakes in the form of a delicate custard.
Moreover, there is no oil in it.
To do this, mix the prepared egg yolks with sugar, then add flour, vanillin and mix the mass.
Stirring constantly, gradually add milk so that the flour does not clump (a glass of milk is enough). Let the rest of the milk heat up, but do not bring it to a boil. As soon as the milk starts to boil, you must immediately turn off the heat to low. After this, carefully pour in the prepared mass in a thin stream, remembering to stir constantly. Continue this process until the mass thickens, carefully ensuring that the cream does not start sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. Cool the finished cream completely.
How to bake a cake
Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator, roll it into a thick sausage and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Then roll each piece into a thin pancake, the diameter will be approximately 23 - 25 centimeters. It is necessary to make everything the same size, so trim off the excess dough from the edges with a sharp knife.
The oven takes quite a long time, because you need to bake the cakes one at a time, having previously covered the baking dish, until they are lightly browned. Approximately 7 minutes each (200 degrees). Fold into an even stack, cutting off excess. Do not throw away the trimmings.
Collect and roll out all excess trimmed pieces. Then bake the shortbread in the same way. Then, after cooling, turn into crumbs for sprinkling.
The last stage is assembly
Place the first cake layer on the dish and coat thoroughly with the prepared cream. Cover the top with the second one and press down properly. We repeat the entire procedure sequentially until the cakes run out. And even if one of them breaks during the process, this will not cause any damage to the finished dish. We also grease the finished cake on the sides, and then decorate with the prepared crumbs.
You definitely need to give the dessert time to soak thoroughly at room temperature, and then put it in the cold, preferably overnight, to get a delicious Napoleon cake.
