 Napoleon (pastry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Napoleon is a pastry made of many layers of puff pastry with filling alternating the layers.
As a French pastry it is called mille-feuilles, or thousand leaves, and it is usually filled with whipped cream, pastry cream, and fruit preserves - most often raspberry jam.
The most common explanation of the name 'Napoleon' is that it is from napolitain, the French adjective for the Italian town of Naples, but altered by association with the name of Emperor Napoleon I of France.
