PP Napoleon pita bread with custard

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   First prepare the cream. This recipe is designed for a small cake, so I cooked by increasing all the ingredients by 2 times. Milk and egg should be at room temperature, so take them out of the refrigerator in advance.

2. Step 2:

   

   Beat the egg with sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour starch into the mixture. You can sift it through a sieve. Mix everything thoroughly, breaking up the lumps.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour in a quarter of the milk at room temperature and mix everything thoroughly.

5. Step 5:

   

   A homogeneous slightly viscous mixture should be obtained.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour the rest of the milk into a saucepan with a thick bottom, put it on medium heat and warm it up to a hot state, but do not boil.

7. Step 7:

   

   Constantly stirring, pour a thin stream of hot milk into the egg-starch mixture. This method helps prevent the formation of lumps.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour the whole mixture back into the saucepan and put it on a slow fire.

10. Step 9:

    

    Cook the cream, stirring constantly with a whisk, until thickened. Determine the thickness of the cream yourself, which one you like best, but keep in mind that as the cream cools down, it will thicken.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the custard from the heat, cover with cling film "in contact" and cool. It is undesirable to put the cream in the refrigerator immediately. In the cooler season, it is better to take it out on the balcony.

12. Step 11:

    

    We will use ordinary pita bread as cakes. For convenience, it is advisable to take pita bread in the form of an even rectangle.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cut the lavash into squares or rectangles of the desired size. Depending on the size and shape of the pieces, your cake may turn out to be low, but large in length, or small in shape, but layered.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put a sheet of pita bread on a dish and smear with cream. Sprinkle the cream with coconut chips on top. If you don't like coconut, you can not add it at all. Cover with a second sheet of pita bread. So, alternating layers of cakes, cream and coconut chips, assemble the whole cake.

15. Step 14:

    

    Sprinkle the top of the cake thickly with coconut shavings. I also sprinkled coconut flakes on top (coconut crunches). Send the cake overnight in the refrigerator for impregnation.

16. Step 15:

    

    Put the finished cake on a platter, cut into pieces and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
