Ingredients:

300 g condensed milk; 500 g fat sour cream; teaspoon lemon juice; vanilla extract - to taste.

Progress:

  1. Give the sour cream an airy state. To do this, turn on the mixer at medium speed and process the product placed in a large bowl for several minutes. Do not run the mixer for too long, otherwise the sour cream will begin to separate and form butter and whey.
  2. The next step is adding condensed milk. Do not stop whisking the mixture so that its consistency remains fluffy and tender.
  3. Pour in 5 ml of lemon juice and vanilla extract, this will help make the cream on the cake not so cloyingly sweet and give it a pleasant aroma.
  4. After you layer the Napoleon cakes with cream and stack them, take your time to divide the Napoleon cake into portioned pieces.

Cooking method:

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, grind the yolks with sugar. Grind thoroughly, but if some of the sugar does not dissolve immediately, it’s okay.
  2. Add sifted flour and mix well. The result is a thick mass, we need to dilute it slightly, because if we add it in this form to hot milk, we will get a sweet lump of dough in the milk.
  3. Once the milk has boiled, add half the milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Now pour the diluted egg mixture into the remaining milk, do not forget to stir.
  4. Place the pan on the fire, stirring constantly, bring the cream to a boil and cook until thickened. Pour the finished cream into a wide container, add vanilla tincture and butter, mix well. If you use vanilla sugar or vanillin, add it along with the sugar.

  • To make the cream acquire a more delicate structure, pass it through a fine sieve.
  • A richer taste and color of the cream will be obtained if it is prepared with yolks or homemade eggs.

  1. When breaking the eggs, carefully separate the whites from the yolks. Cut the lemon into two halves and squeeze the juice out of them - a couple of tablespoons will be enough.
  2. Beat the whites with a mixer. They will reach the consistency you need when you turn the bowl over, and the mass will not start to flow out.
  3. Pour water into a saucepan or bowl and add sugar. Now you need to prepare sugar syrup.
  4. When the sugar dissolves, you can remove it from the stove. Add the whites to the syrup and beat the mixture with a mixer. Then pour in lemon juice and go through the mixer again. In about ten minutes your cream will be completely ready. You can safely use it for pastries or cakes!

Chocolate custard for “Napoleon”

Ingredients:

  • Milk - 3 glasses;
  • Sugar - 1 glass;
  • Wheat flour - 2 tbsp. spoons;
  • Eggs - 4 pcs.;
  • Cocoa - 2 tbsp. spoons;
  • Vanilla sugar - 10 g.

Cooking method:

  1. The flour is sifted through a strainer. The sifted wheat flour is thoroughly diluted with a small amount of cold milk (0.5 cups). Then they filter. Separate the yolks from the whites. Egg yolks are mixed with sugar and cocoa powder. Grind until a homogeneous mass is formed.
  2. The milk is heated almost to a boil. Then gradually dilute the chocolate mixture with hot boiled milk. Add vanilla sugar. Pour in flour diluted with milk.
  3. The resulting mixture, stirring continuously, is brought to a boil, then simmered over low heat for 3–5 minutes, cooled to 30–35°C. Whip the whites into a strong foam.
  4. And then the chocolate part of the cream is combined with beaten egg whites. Chocolate custard cream is ready. The finished chocolate custard cream is placed in portioned containers and cooled.

How to make Napoleon custard with milk

Step 3

Pour milk into the pan and heat it to a temperature of 30-35 degrees.

Step 4

Add the egg mixture to the milk and mix well so that it is distributed throughout the entire volume.

Step 5

Place the pan on the stove and heat it over low heat. Stir the cream continuously, bringing it to a boil. As soon as the first bubble appears on the surface and the mass thickens, immediately remove the pan from the heat. At the same time, we will continue to stir it for another 5-10 minutes, since the cream will continue to cook from its own heat and lumps may form.

Step 6

Add butter to the cream and add vanilla if desired. Mix well until the oil is completely dissolved and distributed throughout the mass.

Note: butter is not a necessary component; if a lighter cream is needed, then exclude it from the recipe.

Step 7

Let the cream cool and then it can be used to soak the layers of Napoleon cake or other similar confectionery products.

To make the cream cool faster, you can place the pan in a container with cold water or ice.

If the cream remains unused, freeze it by placing it in a plastic container.

To prepare the cake, defrost the custard slowly, placing it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

Bon appetit!
