Napoleon Cake Balls
Napoleon cake balls are an easy twist on the classic Napoleon Cake. Puff pastry is cut into circles, baked, and dipped in whipped cream.
Equipment
- 2 Large sheet pans
- 1 electric hand mixer
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 sheets puff pastry , (thawed)
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 14 oz can Sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare two large baking sheets. Cut out puff pastry with a 1 3/4" cap or cookie cutter. Transfer cut-out dough including the scraps to the baking pans. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool.
- Beat the heavy cream over high speed until soft peaks form. Mix in the condensed milk and beat well. Set aside.
- Crush the puff pastry scraps with your hands and reserve for the garnish.
- Dip the cut out puff pastry balls into the whipped cream and roll in the reserved crumbs. You could fill each ball with additional cream using a pastry bag with a long tip.
- Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until serving.
Notes
- For a richer custard-like cream, add 2 regular packets of instant vanilla pudding to the cream and enough milk to make it a smooth consistency! This may be thicker, so you will need to smear the cream over the outside and then roll in the crushed puff pastry crumbs.
