A cremeschnitte (German: Cremeschnitte, Hungarian: krémes, Polish: kremówka, napoleonka, Romanian: cremșnit, cremeș, crempita, Bosnian and Serbian: krempita/кремпита, Croatian: kremšnita,[1] Slovak: krémeš, Slovene: kremna rezina, kremšnita), also known as vanilla slice or custard slice, is a custard and chantilly cream cream cake dessert commonly associated with the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

This dish remains popular across Central Europe and the Balkans in various variations, all of which include a puff pastry base and custard cream.

The classic recipe for Samoborska kremšnita is considered to be designed by Đuro Lukačić in the early 1950s, based on different earlier variants found in patisseries of Zagreb.

[8] The filling is usually pure thick custard, less commonly combined with meringue (whipped egg whites and sugar) creme.

[10] Romanian Cremșnit has a compacted puff pastry top and base (a weighted bake) and a stiff custard filling.
