Lenten napoleon custard cake
Custard
- Stir in the sugar and cornstarch.
- Pour coconut milk into a saucepan and mix with water. If the milk is less fat, no water is needed.
- Add a small portion of the milk to the starch and sugar mixture and stir to avoid lumps.
- Place the remaining milk on the stove and heat until hot.
- I pour in a mixture of starch, sugar and milk.
- While stirring, cook everything together until thickened.
- When the mixture begins to thicken, heat to a minimum and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Boil for half a minute and turn off the heating.
- Cover cold dishes with cling film. Pour the cream there.
- One of the conditions for making a custard is to cool it down quickly.
- Spread the cream over the dishes so that the layer is not thick.
- Cover the top with a film in contact with the surface and put it in the refrigerator.
Cake dough
- Mix flour with salt, sugar and baking powder.
- Add 150 g of chopped coconut oil to the flour.
- Stir everything into small crumbs.
- Add 50 ml of cold water to it, mix and collect the dough in a lump.
- This must be done quickly so that the butter does not melt and the cakes are then crumbly.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces and place on a plate.
- Cover with cling film and refrigerate for half an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 190 ° C degrees.
- It is better to roll out the dough immediately on parchment. I cut 4 sheets, each sheet can be used twice.
- Add flour and roll until fine.
- I am guided by a diameter of 20 cm.
- Cut a circle, prick with a fork and send to the oven.
- Baking time 6-7 minutes. It is not necessary to dry too much, the cake should be slightly browned.
- While one cake is being baked, roll out the second.
- It seems that the finished cake is stuck to the parchment, do not rush to tear it off, let it cool a little.
- Be careful with brittle and crumbly cakes.
- Their dried scraps can be crumbled for decoration.
Assembling the cake
- Take out the cooled cream, transfer it to any suitable container and stir well.
- I put about 65 g of cream on each layer.
- Smear the sides, and process the cake with crumbs.
I eat it right away, because everyone loves crispy cakes.
