Napoleon like from a confectionery, disappears from the sheet quickly. Very simple recipe, little work

Napoleonka is a cookie loved all over the world. It consists of from two flakes of puff pastry, which usually translates with pudding creamwhipped cream, cream or meringue cream. Its top is covered with powdered sugar.

Hearing the name “Napoleon” The first association is Napoleon Bonaparte. In fact, this dessert has nothing to do with the former French emperor and does not come from France at all.

Contrary to appearances, Napoleonka does not come from France, until Italy. Specifically it comes from Naples. It was the Italian version of the French Mille-Fueille. For this reason, in French, the dessert was referred to as the adjective of “Wylotain”, meaning “Neapolitan”. However Most likely as a result of incorrect translations whether the twists, in some European countries, is called “napoleons” or just “napoleon”.
