Fresh Fruit Napoleon

As I mentioned in my vanilla pudding post, I originally meant to make a Fruit Napoleon. Well, here it is. This recipe is a fun one. It is light, tasty, and can be changed based on fruit preferences and what is in season.

The Napoleon is the American name for the French pastry Mille-feuille. A traditional Napoleon is made up of three layers of puff pastry with two layers of crème pâtissièreToppings can range from icing, chocolate or sugar.

My version is slightly different than the traditional dessert. Here I have a single layer of crème filled with blueberries and garnished with a strawberry.
