What Is Napoleon in a Glass?

Napoleon in a Glass takes all the iconic components of a traditional Napoleon and transforms them into a layered dessert served in individual glasses. Instead of dealing with flaky pastry, you use crispy puff pastry crumbs or store-bought puff pastry sheets that are broken into pieces and layered between velvety pastry cream and a sweet, delicate vanilla glaze. Each spoonful of this dessert captures the essence of the classic French treat—crispy, creamy, and oh-so-decadent.

The beauty of this dessert lies in its simplicity: No pastry skills required, and it’s easy to prepare ahead of time, making it ideal for parties or busy weeknights when you want to whip up something special with little effort.
