VEGAN VANILLA CUSTARD SLICE

These are the vanilla model of my Chocolate Custard Slice and a more, what you are going to discover in a bakery, kind dessert than my No Bake Vanilla Custard Slice.

INGREDIENTS 2 sheets of shop sold vegan puff pastry, thawed 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 4 tbsp cornflour* 1 cup canned complete fats coconut milk 1/2 cup rice malt syrup 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, or to taste tiny pinch of turmeric powder – for colour, optional icing sugar – for sprinkling on top, optional INSTRUCTIONS PASTRY: Preheat the oven to 180C (356°F) and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place one piece of pastry on every tray, location one other piece of baking paper on upper of the pastries, adopted with one other tray on upper of every one. This will guarantee that the pastry won’t rise too much. You too can do that one at a time. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (or simply due to the fact the packet classes say) till golden and crispy. Let cool completely. Cut every piece down to the measurement of a 20cm sq. pan. Line the 20cm sq. pan with baking paper. Make certain there’s lots of baking paper at the rims to be capable to take out the slice when it’s set. Place a work of pastry at the backside of the pan and set aside. CUSTARD: Off the heat, pour the almond milk right into a huge pot. Add the cornflour and whisk till smooth. Add within the relaxation of the ingredients (except for the icing sugar) and location the pot on medium to excessive heat. Make certain to stir regularly, I desire to make use of a warmth resistant silicone spatula for this. The custard will soar to kind first at the bottom, in case you observe this happening, supply it a whisk to make certain the custard remains delicate (continue to whisk now and then). When it begins to thicken, turn down the warmth to low. Still stirring regularly, hold cooking till it’s a thick custard consistency (it’s truly fundamental that it’s thick or it would possibly no longer set agency enough). Mine takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the custard onto the pastry base and location the different piece of pastry on top. Let cool for 10 minutes earlier than refrigerating for at the least four hours. If you like, upper with icing sugar earlier than reducing into slices. NOTES *Here in Australia, cornflour is the similar as cornstarch. It is for thickening functions and is white.

it has truly creamy vanilla custard filling (that cuts nicely too)
crispy from the flaky pastry which offers you the delicious creamy and crispy combination
It’s also:

only 6 ingredients with 2 non-compulsory ingredients (turmeric powder for shade and icing sugar for the top)
quite fundamental to make. You quite a lot cook dinner the pastry after which custard, positioned it collectively and look forward to it to set!

SOME NOTES FOR YOU:
I purchased my pastry from my native supermarket. I would mean checking the ingredients of those you've got available, it’s awesome what number of meals are in truth accidentally vegan.

Make certain to cook dinner the pastry till it’s golden and crispy on top. As nicely as being vast texture, it makes it simpler to cut.

When cooking the custard, you desire a truly thick custard consistency. This part’s truly fundamental simply due to the fact if it’s no longer thick it would possibly no longer set agency sufficient to chop well. Mine takes about 8 to 10 minutes.

I upload turmeric powder for a yellow colouring. This makes it appear further like a normal custard slice but is absolutely optional. If you do use it, make certain so as to feature a pinch at a time whereas cooking the custard. It’s fundamental so as to feature too a lot and stop up with a vivid yellow dessert

I’ve discovered a serrated knife is the finest approach to chop with as you desire to get via the flaky pastry with out squishing the custard.

GLUTEN FREE / HEALTHIER OPTION:
Instead of the pastry, attempt the almond base from my Vegan Jelly Slice. Follow the classes for the backside and depart it to cool earlier than including the vanilla custard on top!
