The bedside cake is a very quick recipe prepared with ready-made puff pastry! Also read 40 easy and quick recipes with puff pastry and the puff pastry tart with Nutella and also the Grandma’s cake with puff pastry. The bedside cake is a simple but very delicious Tuscan dessert thanks to the fragrant custard. The dessert mainly consists of two different textures: the crispiness of the pastry and the softness of the cream. The origins of the name might come from the soft rugs found at the foot of the bed, called bedside rugs, and the dessert lends itself to many variations, for example, you can add syruped cherries to the cream, or you can add chocolate chips or replace the classic cream with pistachio cream. In summer, you can also add fresh fruit.
