Napoleonka (Slovak: krémeš), colloquially kremówka, is a Polish type of cream pie. It is made of two layers of puff pastry, filled with whipped cream^[1], crème pâtissière^[2] (according to Polish gastronomy textbooks made from whole eggs^[1]; some versions consist of melted butter^[3]^[4]) or just thick milk kissel enriched with melted butter^[5],^{[note 1]} or sometimes filled with egg white cream^[1]. It is usually sprinkled with powdered sugar^[1] but it also can be decorated with cream or covered with a layer of icing.

In some places in Poland the cake is known as kremówka (roughly translated as "cream cake"), in others, it is called napoleonka.^[6] This Polish "war" between names kremówka and napoleonka has been subject to a satirical drawing by the Polish illustrator Andrzej Mleczko.^[6]

The cake itself is a variation of mille-feuille^[7]^[8] – a French dessert made of three layers of puff pastry filled with cream or jam – also known as the Napoleon.

Sometimes kremówkas containing alcohol are sold, those became popular particularly in the aftermath of a false story that Pope John Paul II was fond of that variant.^[9]^[10] In fact, the Pope was fond of the traditional kremówka.^[11]^[10]
