Awesome trip reports and pictures! Your fiancee looks just like a young man I knew in the early 90s here in South Florida. He used to work on refrigeration units for trailers and I remember he was from the same area b/c he was a transplanted Phillies fan.

...oh, and if you're interested there is a Peanut Sauce recipe in the recipe section Sorry, just couldn't resist!

Also, saw that France's Napolean recipe is listed on allears.net. I'm not able to post the link because I'm a new poster, but you can find it on their site, or maybe someone else can copy/paste it until I graduate to the next level.

Congrats on your engagement - you guys are real cute!! I just read all your reviews and I loved them! You truly had some great meals, and even better desserts. Thanks to you, I now must go to Norway and try a cloud horn. Yummmm! And it was definitely a good decision to try all those desserts in France - isn't the napoleon to die for?

Thanks for sharing all your reviews and pics! I cannot wait for you guys to go on your honeymoon and review the deluxe dining plan.

Cool beans! I just might have to try this myself. It looks like it might take awhile to make, but I'm sure it's worth it!


Here is a link to the recipe:

Napoleon
Boulangerie Patisserie
France - Epcot

Ingredients:
1 pound puff pastry
2 cups pastry cream
¾ cup Chantilly cream
Confectioner's sugar


Vanilla Pastry Cream:
2 cups milk
½ vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons flour or corn starch

Method of Preparation:
Place the milk and vanilla bean in saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and keep hot. Beat the sugar and egg yolk together until the mixture whitens and forms a ribbon; then gently stir in cornstarch or flour. Strain out the vanilla bean and pour the hot milk into the egg and sugar mixture, continually beating. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1-minute stirring vigorously, then pour into a bowl and lightly rub the surface of the cream with a lump of butter to keep skin from forming as it cools. Yield: 2 cups

Chantilly Cream:
1 cup crème fraiche, very cold
3 tablespoons cold milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 ½ tablespoon shaved ice or water

Method of Preparation:
Mix the crème fraiche with the milk in a chilled mixing bowl; add sugar, vanilla sugar and the shaved ice or ice water, whip at low speed for one minute, then whip at high speed for one to three minutes more or until it stands in soft peaks.

*NOTE: AVOID WHIPPING TOO LONG OTHERWISE IT WILL TURN INTO BUTTER. CHANTILLY CREAM KEEPS FOR 24 HRS. IF REFRIGERATED IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER.


Assembling the cake:
Roll out the pastry into 3 rectangles and bake until lightly browned. When the three sheets have been baked, select the best rectangle to serve as the cover or top layer of the cake. Turn this rectangle over and dust generously with confectioner's sugar. Broil for 1 min. watching to make sure the sugar doesn't burn. Allow to cool.

Fold the vanilla pastry cream into the Chantilly cream. On the first rectangle pastry, spread a layer of this cream. Place the second rectangle on top, spread it with the cream as well, and then cover with the glazed rectangle of pastry. Sprinkle the top with the confectioner's sugar.

Thanks! Can't wait myself! EPCOT WS is the best, isn't it???

This looks a bit above my skill set. Guess I'll just have to get back to EPCOT soon!

Awesome review! Enjoy every minute of all the wedding stuff and the DISNEYMOON!!!! It all really does go by so fast and I'll definitely be reliving ours when I read your next review!!

Thanks so much! I will do my best - I can't even believe how much food I will be consuming between the wedding and the disneymoon (I stole my wedding's slogan from IHOP: come hungry, leave happy!)

Can't wait to do my next review...except for the fact it means the vacation is over!
