Cremeschnitte is an extremely popular European dessert as well as in other countries. Cremeschnitte means “cream slices” in German because of its layers of cream. I have added a pecan layer between two layers of which is sandwiched together by two layers of puff pastry. It’s rich and delicious!I even like to coat the top of the bottom layer with thick chocolate ganache or melted chocolate to seal it to prevent sogginess. However, a good coating of egg wash works well too.
Not up to making homemade gluten free puff pastry?
Not everyone is up for the tedious process of making homemade gluten free puff pastry. If this is you, instead, make the Flaky gluten Free Pie Crust instead. You can also use GeeFree Gluten Free Puff Pastry. I saw some for sale online at Gluten Free Mall.
Nut allergies?
Use a chocolate ganache filling instead.
Too much pastry cream?
You can never have too much pastry cream in my book, but feel free to replace the top layer of pastry cream with whipped cream if you desire. Using a layer of whipped cream makes it traditional.

Don't see eggs on ingredient list
Charlotte,
The only eggs in this recipe are in the pastry cream. Just click on the link for the Pastry Cream. Cremeshnitte does not contain any cake, just layers of cream (pastry cream and whipped cream mixed together is best.) I added a layer of caramel mixed with pecans. Then both the top and bottom layers are puffed pastry.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
