Custard slice

lurker172602 — Wed, 28 May 2014 21:49:51 GMT

Morning all. A while ago there was a thread which had some recipes for simple custard slices. I can't find it now. I need to make something like that today. Can anyone help me please?

Wish I'd made vanilla slices yesterday instead of cheesecake !!

Having friends over for lunch today and after years of making very yummy cheesecakes.....for some unknown reason I put vanilla extract in the mix AAAAAAHHH!!!!

It's going to taste bad......very bad....and I don't have time to go inot town to buy eggs to make something else or even time to go to the bakery..."sigh"

looks like pumpkin soup for lunch and that's it.

unless there is a recipe for something delishish, doesn't need eggs, can be made in 15 minutes ?????????????

I don't think I've ever had custard and maybe they have different names there, but in this thread are similar looking deserts.

Hey soul ♥

Oh you mix the instant pudding with a 600ml of cream.

Vanilla slice! That's the one Freddie. There were quite a few variations if I remember correctly.

Soul, are you wanting a pimpy FA?

Re: Custard slice

soul_art — Wed, 28 May 2014 22:15:21 GMT

No cream..only some sour cream for the pumpkin soup.

hmm, could make creamed rice I suppose but eventhough I could eat a pot of it, others might'nt like it.

last resort I could ask them to bring something but I'd feel bad doing that.

Lurker, I just use the elcheapo woolworths brand instant pudding mix, mix it with the cream, layer the biscuits, slap the vanilla mix on the biscuits, then another layer of biscuits, passionfruit icing on top and there you have it.

soul_art — Wed, 28 May 2014 22:18:51 GMT

No !!!! I don't want a FA !!

oooh! that's IT....I'll tell them they can look at the cheesecake (it looks yummy) but becasue I'm such a nice person I wont give them any so they don't get FA's...brilliant freddie, thanks.

Thanks Freddie. I actually have to make it for delivery later today and eating tomorrow lunch time. Will it still be okay then do you think?

Yes Lurker, actually the longer you allow it to set the better.

Between that and my peppermint slice I'll be very popular 🙂

If you have Puff Paste sheets in the freezer or Filo Pastry?

Cook off three sheets puff paste or 3 x 3 Filo

Puff paste is best. remeber to dock it.

One sheet, glaze with egg yolk and sprinkle with castor sugar (so that it will caramelize whilst cooking.

If you want to be fancyish, thinly slice some sort of fruit like an apple or pear or peach - fan on top and sprinkle more sugar on it and it will caramelize.

........................................

Basic Custard

...................................

sandwich two cooked sheets together with jam

then layer of custard

then top sheet of pastry - like a sandwich

portion - serrated knife

or use sweet biscuits like Freddie said

..............................

Basic Pastry Crème or Crème Pâtissière
