This version simplifies everything, by swapping graham crackers for the puff pastry, pudding and whipping cream for the pastry cream. Fancy, I know, but we always called this dessert “Phony Napoleon.” If the real Napoleon stepped forward, he would have 2 layers of cream alternating between 3 layers of puff pastry. It also goes by the names Custard Slice, Vanilla Slice, or Napoleon. In our family cookbook, the recipe is titled Milles Feuilles (meaning “a thousand leaves”). When I asked my mom when this recipe joined our list of family favorites, she said it was when I was born! Her cousin delivered a meal of split pea soup and corn muffins, with this for dessert. Want me to keep going? Because I totally could. Meatballs from Rebecca and chicken taquitos from Elizabeth. Kristie delivered short ribs and scalloped potatoes. Ashley dropped off a huge pan of baked ziti. However, the meals delivered by friends once we brought our sweet babies home? I can remember almost every single one. Kelly brought homemade mac n’ cheese, fried chicken, and a Caesar salad. But I’d have to check their baby books for nearly everything else. I don’t remember key details from my babies’ births.
