Answer 1

First you make the custard
2-1/4 cups milk
4 egg yolks
2/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Southern Comfort

Then
Boil 2 cups of milk. Whisk eggyolks with sugar and remaining milk until smooth. Add cornstarch and flour until combined. Gradually whisk hot milk into egg mixture. Return to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Reduce to low and stir for 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and Southern Comfort. Cool to room temperature.

Then bake a frozen pastry dough that is 13 X 17 for 5-10 minutes. Cool. Cut it into 3 parts. Cut the custard on top of one layer. Add a layer of pastry. Then more custard. Then the last pastry. Frost with melted chocolate preferably dark chocolate. Chill an hour and eat.

Answer 2

French Napoleons
These are to die for!!! They are so easy, yet look so elegant!!! I usually use a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but have also done squares, diamonds, etc. This is a must make for Valentine's Day at my house! But would be wonderful for any holiday or romantic dinner.
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup cold milk
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix (or use chocolate)
1 cup Cool Whip
1 1/4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
garnish
powdered sugar
18 napoleons
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet to 1/8-inch thickness.
2. Using a shaped cookie cutter of your choice (I prefer hearts), cut out 9 Napoleons per sheet.
3. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
4. (If your dough has become too warm, place in refrigerator to chill. The pastry will not "puff" well if warm.).
5. Bake at 400º for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Remove to wire racks to cool.
7. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip.
8. Split puff pastry shapes in half.
9. Place bottom halves on serving plates.
10. Spoon filling over each; top with strawberries. I make the points of the slices stick out over the edges.
11. Top with pastry tops. (Add just a dab of filling on top of strawberries so the pastry top will stick.).
12. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
13. Serve immediately.

Yum. I love them too. I don't have a recipe. Wish I did. Where I live they're called chocolate crossaints. Mmm. Fresh hot napoleonos in Spain every Sunday morning...
