Napoleonka (Polish: [napɔlɛˈɔnka] ⓘ; colloquially kremówka (Polish: [krɛˈmufka] ⓘ), is a Polish type of cream pie. It is made of two layers of puff pastry, filled with whipped cream[1], crème pâtissière[2] (according to Polish gastronomy textbooks made from whole eggs[1]; some versions consist of melted butter[3][4]) or just thick milk kissel enriched with melted butter[5],[note 1] or sometimes filled with egg white cream[1]. It is usually sprinkled with powdered sugar[1] but it also can be decorated with cream or covered with a layer of icing.
In some places in Poland the cake is known as kremówka (roughly translated as "cream cake"), in others, it is called napoleonka.[6] This Polish "war" between names kremówka and napoleonka has been subject to a satirical drawing by the Polish illustrator Andrzej Mleczko.[6]
The cake itself is a variation of mille-feuille[7][8] – a French dessert made of three layers of puff pastry filled with cream or jam – also known as the Napoleon.
Sometimes kremówkas containing alcohol are sold. These became popular particularly in the aftermath of a false story that Pope John Paul II was fond of that variant.[9][10] In fact, the Pope was fond of the traditional kremówka.[11][10]
