Custard cream vanilla slice recipe

5 Method Steps

Step 1

Grease a 3cm-deep, 20 x 30cm slice pan. Line the base and 2 long sides with baking paper, allowing the paper to overhang the sides.

Step 2

Scrape the filling from the biscuits and reserve. Place half the biscuits over the base of the prepared pan, cutting to fit as needed.

Step 3

Place the custard powder and 125ml (1/2 cup) milk in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Pour in the remaining milk and vanilla. Add the caster sugar. Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until the custard comes to the boil. Cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in the reserved biscuit filling. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 4

Pour the warm custard over the biscuits in the pan. Drizzle with jam. Layer with remaining biscuits. Place in the fridge for 4 hours or until set.

Step 5

Dust the top of the slice with icing sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut the slice into even pieces, using the shape of the biscuits as a guide. Serve.
