Indulge in layers of flaky pastry, creamy vanilla custard, and a smooth icing glaze. Bake pastry, layer with custard, chill, then glaze. Savor every bite of this delectable dessert!
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
Place pastry sheets on flat baking trays lined with baking paper. Use a fork to prick holes all over pastry.
Add an extra sheet of baking paper on top of each pastry sheet and place an extra baking tray on top as a weight. - Bake for 20 to 25 mins, or until golden.
Allow to cool completely on wire rack. - Place 20cm square baking tin on top of cooked pastry sheets & use serrated knife to carefully trim sheets to size of tin.
- Grease & line 20cm square baking tin with baking paper (allowing it to overhang).
Place one of pastry sheets in base of the tin & set aside. - Place custard powder in to saucepan with ¼ cup of milk. Stir until all of the custard powder has dissolved. Add remaining 2 ¼ cups of milk & caster sugar.
If using a Thermomix: Place custard powder, milk & caster sugar in to Thermomix bowl. Cook for 9mins, 90 degrees, Speed 4. If custard is too runny, cook for further a minute. - Whisking continuously, heat custard over medium heat for 5 mins, or until it has started thicken. Once custard starts to boil, continue whisking for a further 2 mins, or until very thick.
Place sheet of glad wrap over custard to stop it forming a 'skin' & allow to cool for 20 mins. - Spread cooled custard over pastry & top with extra sheet of cooked puff pastry.
- To make icing, sift icing sugar in to bowl & add food colouring. Then add 1 tablespoon water at a time & stir until you have smooth paste (that can be spread).
If using a Thermomix: place icing sugar in to clean & dry Thermomix bowl. Sift by pressing Turbo for 2 to 3 seconds. Add pink food colouring & 3 tablespoon water. Mix for 10 secs, Speed 6. Scrape down sides of bowl & mix for a further 5 secs. If mixture is too thick & cannot be spread, add 1 more tablespoon & mix again (it should be a thick paste). - Spread icing over the slice & place in to fridge for 3 to 4 hours (overnight is best).
- Use small, serrated knife to cut through top pastry sheet before using large, flat knife to press down firmly to cut in to slices.
