Kremówka
Kremówka
Kremówka is a pastry from Poland. Also known as “Napoleonka,” this tasty treat consists of layers of puff pastry with a delicious cream filling in between. The cream filling is typically made with a combination of custard and whipped cream, resulting in a creamy and indulgent texture. Some variations may even include a touch of vanilla or a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups unsalted butter cold (cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, heat the water and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in the flour until well combined. Return to low heat and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the cream filling. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk until it begins to steam.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture to create the cream filling.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a thin rectangle.
- Place one rectangle of dough onto the baking sheet. Spread the cream filling evenly over the dough.
- Place the second rectangle of dough on top of the cream filling, gently pressing the edges to seal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Cut into squares or desired shapes and enjoy.
