Puffs Continued

Today might just be the hottest day of the year in New York.  Nonetheless it was still a fantastic day in the sweet-kitchen.  This is the first time that I am making a Nepoleon like this one and I like it a lot.  The contrast in crunchy texture of the puff pastry and creaminess of the pastry cream (especially when chilled) is absolutely pleasing.

Bye-bye Pepperidge Farm!  I shall from now on, stop buying puff pastry shells at $0.60/piece.  It's really quite a liberating feeling....

This might just be a lower (note it's "lower" and not "low) calorie dessert.  It is satisfying without being OTT.
