Cremeschnitte

Hello

We just came back from Slovenia where we ate wonderful cremeschnitte in Bled and Ljubljana. On the off chance that we might be able to make it on our own, can someone provide us with an authentic recipe?

Thanks.

I did a google search on "cremeschnitte" and found that it was a bar of face soap.

The Cremeschnitten (Kremschnitten) of my childhood, were what is known in the USA as Napoleons.

You bake puff pastry which is rolled very thin and brushed with white of egg until golden brown. Cut into strips, layer with vanilla custard or sweetened whipped cream and strips of baked puff pastry as follows: bottom puff pastry, next filling, next another layer of baked dough, more filling and top with another strip of dough. Sprinkle confectioner's sugar over each strip and cut into serving pieces.

I hope that this is what you are looking for.

If you do a search on "Kremschnitten" you will find some recipes. All are in German and they do look the same as Napoleons. Here is a link:

There is a cremeschnitte soap, yes. But there is also a dessert pastry with the same name. Basically, you take puff pastry and cut it into rectangles, and bake it. Then you split it through the middle horizontally. Spread the bottom half with raspberry or apricot jam, the pastry cream that has been lightened with whipped cream. Top with the other half and then make a glaze with confectioners' sugar and water or lemon juice to drizzle on. You can also sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar alone.

It sounds a lot better than soap.
