Yummy Vanilla Slice
May 30, 2009
Miss E planned to surprise me with her super-douper delicious dessert on Mother's day.. she researched on the net and found this easy Vanilla Slice... She is a bit 'green' in her 'culinary' skills, I ended up helping her with most of it.. ( the actual reason: I didn't want her to mess up the kitchen...shhhh..must not let her know!!) Vanilla Slice 2 puff pastry sheets 250ml (1 cup) milk 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 3/4 cup cornflour 1/2 cup custard powder 220g caster sugar 750ml thickened cream 50g butter 3 egg yolks (room temperature) icing sugar to dust Preheat oven to 210C. Line a 23cm square pan with aluminium foil or baking sheet, so that the sheets comes up over the sides (easier to lift out the vanilla slice). Place each pastry on a baking tray and baked for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool. Once cool, place one sheet - cooked side up, in the bottom of the pan ( may need to trim to fit). For the filling: Place milk
