Introducing **Napoleon in a Glass** — a simplified, no-fuss dessert that captures all the luscious flavors and textures of the traditional French favorite, but in an easy-to-assemble, elegant glass.

This recipe is perfect for busy days, last-minute guests, or when you just want a satisfying dessert without turning on the oven or wrestling with dough. Plus, the individual glass servings make it ideal for presentation and portion control.

Napoleon in a Glass cleverly skips the baking, using readily available ingredients like store-bought puff pastry crisps or biscuits, creamy custard or pudding, and whipped cream to recreate those layers. The result? A delightful medley of crunch, creaminess, and sweetness, served straight in a glass.
