Terminus [ Cremeschnitte ]

Definition 1
The Napoleon is a pastry made of many layers of puff pastry with filling alternating the layers. It can be a dessert, or almost a meal. ... As a French pastry, it is called mille-feuilles, or thousand leaves, for the pastry, and is usually filled with whipped cream, pastry cream (flavored custard), and fruit preserves - most often raspberry jam. The topping may be simply powdered sugar, or a layer of fondant, often with strings of chocolate drawn into a chevron design. In Italy, where the pastry is thought to have originated in Naples, it is called mille foglie (again, thousand leaves), and contains a similar layering like the mille-feuilles of cream, custard, and fruit preserves. A savory Italian version consists of puff pastry filled with spinach, cheese, or pesto among other things. Australia calls its own version of the Napoleon vanilla slice.
