These napoleons are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The custard is rich and creamy, and the strawberries add a nice brightness.

I'm not a fan of strawberries, so I used raspberries in my napoleons instead. They were still delicious!

I used frozen strawberries in my napoleons, and they turned out great! I was worried that they would be too icy, but they thawed perfectly and added a delicious sweetness to the dish.

The custard was a bit too runny for my taste, but other than that, these napoleons were perfect.
