Vanilla Slice

I thought I would share with everyone how to make Vanilla Slice, you know that fancy stuff you get from coffee shops that costs a $5 a slice... Well lets just say you can make it at home for the cost of 1 slice from the bakery / coffee shop.

I usually just make one layer but its easier enough to make it double layered.

What ya need....
2 sheets of puff pastry (if you want to do a double layer you will need 3 sheets)
1.5 litres of milk (skim or full fat) you will need to double the quantity for 2 layers
Custard Powder (about 10 tablespoons, double the quantity for 2 layers)
Icing sugar
Lemon Juice

With a fork prick the puff pastry several times.
Cook the puff pastry sheets in a pre-heated oven of 180 deg cel for around 10-15 mins (when sheets are slightly golden)
Make the custard as per instructions on the packet but add more custard powder (i used about 10 tblsp per 1.5 litres) Allow to cool but not fully cool...
You need the custard to go really thick so it stands on it own.
Once the puff pastry has cooled put one on a plate with browned side facing you.
Spoon on top of puff pastry the custard and spread out evenly.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the custard brown side down.
Make enough lemon icing to cover the top of the puff pastry.
Apply lemon icing to top puff pastry sheet.
