Vanilla custard slices, also known as “Napoleons” or “Mille-Feuille,” are made of crisp puff pastry filled with thick, creamy vanilla custard and topped with a thin layer of icing. Each bite delivers a balance of textures—crunchy, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. Though they look fancy, they’re simple to prepare using everyday ingredients, making them perfect for home bakers who want an elegant yet comforting dessert.
